Expanding on success
Bridgetown and Area Friends of the Library celebrating anniversary in style
This is an exciting year for the Bridgetown and Area Friends of the Library.
Not only are they celebrating the 10th year of their highly successful silent auction fundraiser, they are now investing in an expansion of the Bridgetown and Area Library facility.
In the spring of 2015, with the commercial part of the Revere Building becoming available, the friends conceived the idea of expanding the library into the vacant space. Plans are to open up the space to make a meeting room, and to move the children’s area into the current meeting room. Proceeds from this year’s silent auction will provide funds for the initial renovations.
The friends hope to make this year’s 10th anniversary silent auction, taking place as part of the Bridgetown Ciderfest, a stellar occasion. You can help make that happen by donating items to the Silent Auction.
From now until Sept. 8, drop off quality new or nearly new items, hand crafted items and art, gift certificates, and services to the Firefly Makery, 29 Queen St. between Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Bidding takes place Sept. 9, from 2 to 8 p.m. and Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Auction items will be posted on Annapolis Valley Regional Library’s Facebook page.
For further information, contact Connie Jodrey at the library or call 902-665-2758.
