We are going to have between 90 and 100 baskets or items up for raffle.

Library director Patty Vahey will present the basics of “How to Sell on eBay” 6-8 p.m. Oct. 19. She will show us how to list your items, ship them and get paid. She has been a power seller on eBay since 2003. While you cannot learn all of eBay in two hours, it is a good start.

It is not too late to donate to our fundraiser letter. You can see a copy of it at the front circulation desk or print it from our website. Thank you to all who have donated so far.

Once a year, we do a fundraiser letter to help us with the children and adult programming we do at the library. Donations can be made with check, PayPal or credit card while in the library.
