Auction Fundraiser

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.

Library Closed Today

Due to the bad roads and nasty weather, the library will be closed. Any fines because of this will be waived.

The craft program scheduled for this evening will be held on a Saturday in January.

It’s that time of Year…

Just a little blurb to let everyone know that if the weather is too bad to be on the roads, the library will be closed. We will do our best to let you know by posting it on  the website, letting the School Closing Networks know, and changing the answering machine to reflect the closure.

If the Granville Central School is closed, we will also close for that day.

Thank you for your patience if we need to be closed due to bad weather.
