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 two events which occur annually are: The Book
Sale, Bake Sale and Plant Sale which has been held on the second Saturday
in June since 2002 - before the library opened, and the fall
book sale held on the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend in conjunction
with VerShare's Fall Festival. Occasionally we will also host special dinners. All
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. The 2010 Fall Book Sale will be Saturday,
October 9, the same day as the Fall
Festival.
Ninth Annual Book, Bake, & Plant Sale -
June 12, 2010
Sincere thanks to everyone who donated to, helped set up, and came to
the Library Book, Bake, and Plant Sale. It was a most successful
event in spite of the wet and dreary start to the day. We had to
split up the sale - books and some baked goods at the Town Center, and
plants and the most of the bake sale at the Church-Orr House. In
spite of this, people found us. About 700 books, 60 plants, and
virtually all the brownies, cookies, squares, pies, and banana loaves were
sold - raising a grand sum of $878. It was one of our best sales!
Lots of people enjoyed sitting and chatting over lunch at the cafe in
the Church-Orr House and others enjoyed seeing the bread baking workshop
which was being held at the Town Center. A great chance to visit with
neighbors and friends.
