We are excited about this year’s auction. We have 107 businesses and organizations who have donated local services, more than we have ever had, and that number is expected to rise a little before the auction bidding starts. This year we have worked hard to keep it fresh. We approached businesses that were popular in previous years, and we reached out to new businesses. Of the 107, 34 entries feature businesses and organizations who have not donated in the past.
We are very grateful to the local businesses and organizations who have chosen to offer their services through the auction. It is wonderful for us as they are all very willing to support our fundraiser. In return, the auction provides exposure and free advertising for our donors, and an opportunity for us all to support local.
Ultimately our library benefits as the funds raised are used to support library programs such as a Fine Free Library, the purchase and installation of a Self-Checkout System at the Almonte branch of the library, and a Booking Management System. Now it is your turn to show your support for our local businesses and organizations, and for our vibrant Library. Happy Bidding!
