The library is powered totally by volunteer staff.
No public money is spent on maintaining the library. It relies on
fundraising events to cover its minimal costs, including a share of
operating the Church-Orr House, and volunteer staff to
keep it open. The three events which occur most years are: The B B
& Flea (Book Sale, Bake Sale and Flea Market) which has been held on the
second Saturday in June since 2002 - before the library opened; the fall
book sale held on the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend in conjunction
with VerShare's Fall Festival, and occasional special dinners. All
the funds go directly to support the library's activities, either for
buying books or supporting the library's share of keeping the Church-Orr
House open.
Fall Book Sale -
October 10
Once again, as part of the
Fall Festival, the Library had a successful book sale.
Thanks to generous book donations, and weeding out the ever-growing
library collection, we had a great variety of interesting books at
bargain prices! All proceeds were for the benefit the Library.
Eighth Annual Book, Bake, & Plant Sale -
June 13, 2009
On a lovely, sunny spring
day people from Vershire and afar came to the Church-Orr House.
Thousands of books, hundreds of plants and dozens of delicious baked items
were available for sale. Thanks to all who helped
make this year's spring fundraiser such a success. Well over $800
was raised which will help support the library's ongoing activities.
