ELPL's online auction was held April 18-25 with 100 baskets from which to choose. Amazingly, all but two items received bids. Almost $6,800 was raised and will help support library programming.
The support from our patrons and the community was incredible! Thanks for all who participated, and all who donated. Listed here are the many businesses and people who teamed up to make this a success. Here's hoping that next year Books, Bites & Bids will be an in person event in April at ELPL! It will be wonderful to be able to gather for what many call "the best event of the year!" Also, the library will be 100 years old in March of 2023 so there is much to celebrate!
