Every month, the Friends hold a Silent Auction. Interesting, unusual, and nearly-new books are continuously offered. Bidders determine the prices.
See the Silent Auction glass display case near the reference desk for the newest entries and to make a bid.
The Silent Auction focuses on singularly attractive or hard to find books – all collected from donations. Each Silent Auction grouping is displayed in the case for 4-5 weeks along with a brief description, internet pricing of similar items, and bidding information.
To Bid – enter your bid amount on the appropriate index card in red binder hanging next to Silent Auction display case in YV Library. Bids typically increase in $5.00 increments. Stop by the library several times to see if someone has raised your bid and bid more if you really want the item(s). Winning bidders are notified by phone.
