The preparation for the Friends of the Library auction in June is underway. We are doing this auction to fund the Library’s budget shortfall created by the recent anointment that there are No More Late Return Fees. We are auctioning off services, so ask donors to donate their time in the service of others. The offers are already coming in quickly! We have created a list of services we would hope to be able to auction off. Please take a look at it and see if there is any service you, or someone you know, would be willing to donate to this good cause. The wish list is:
If you can offer any of these services, please contact us at friends@missmillslibrary.com
