Pember Library

A signed copy of Stephen King’s new book “Under the Dome” is being raffled.

Tickets are $1.00. The drawing will be on Tuesday, December 22 at 4:30  PM.

Please take a look at the above tab labelled “Auction.” All proceeds will benefit the Pember.

The sap buckets pictured there will be up for auction with final bids due by 3pm, December 13 at the end of our Open House. These wonderful re-creations of sap buckets as art and functional items for the home have been donated by several local artisans as a fundraiser for the Pember.

For each bucket there is a photo, a short description and the name of the artist who created it. There is also an opening bid listed or the current bid for each item.

The actual buckets and bidding sheets are in the library. Cash or checks only. Please come in and start bidding!

Bidding from a distance:

Send an email to the email link in  the right pane. If you have  the winning bid, we can hold the item until you are able to pick it up or ask you to pay for having it mailed to you. Keep track on the auction page to see if yours is the winning bid.

This bucket “The Pember” was donated by Sandra Duval.

Plants are on sale at the library. Prices range from $2.00 – $15.00.

There are some vegetable plants (tomatoes, cabbage, etc.), a few herbs (chocolate mint, & parsley) and lovely flowers.  There’s still time to add some great looking plants to your garden or pretty up your porch with a hanging basket!

The annual Friends of the Pember Library Book Sale will take place at the Mary J Tanner School on Route 22 in Middle Granville. There will be thousands of books available. Most hardcover books will be $1.00 and paperbacks for $.25. Newer or special books will be individually priced.

On Saturday from 1pm to 3 pm will be our $1.00 per bag sale using bags we provide.

UPDATE:

I removed some of the photos to make it easier on folks with slow connections. The photos are still available if someone wants to see a pic of one of the buckets.

The fund-raiser was very successful using only 17 of the 30 buckets that were donated. Thank you to everyone for your continued support of the Pember.

Here are photos of the sap buckets donated to the Pember for the fund-raising auction which will be taking place at the Salem Court House on Saturday, March 28.

Only a portion of these will be in the auction on Saturday. The remaining buckets will be auctioned off at a later date as part of the Pember’s 100th anniversary celebration.

The auction begins at 6 PM with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash wine bar at 5PM. There is no admission fee but there will be a $2 paddle charge for those wishing to bid on the buckets.

I have my favorites. Which one(s) do you like best?
