Library auction winds down

6 years ago

We are in the final days of the Walter T. A. Hansen Memorial Library’s annual Bidding For Good Auction, which will end on Thursday, Feb. 1.  

There are many great items to bid on, so please check out the site often to see new items and make your bids.

Check out the items in the auction by going to www.BiddingForGood.com.  Search for the Walter T. A. Hansen Memorial Library and browse available items. Check the site out often to see what “your” item’s status is!   

Thank you to all who help with this fundraiser, which is our largest each year and allows us to enlarge our collection.
