There were several anonymous donors, and we thank them as well as anyone we may have inadvertently missed.
Much gratitude is due to our very generous bidders, who donated almost $4,400 to the library through this event. We hope everyone enjoyed bidding and participating.
Extra special thanks are reserved for library trustee Cynthia Stroebel, who makes our auction the success it is through all her hard work tracking down donations, coordinating auction set up, making all the phone calls to winners, and writing countless thank you cards. We couldn’t do it without her!
And last but not least, a big thank you to all the staff of the library for their dedication to our patrons during this very busy event.
—Tracy Aldrich,
Library Director
