Holiday Marketplace 2011

What a day!

We had hundreds of people from the community (and beyond!) join us last Saturday, November 12, for our third annual Holiday Marketplace.

Tables of vendors selling everything from soaps to jewelry to candy wove all around the library. We had live music, readings from A Christmas Carol, and a mini marketplace for kids. A general feeling of holiday spirit spread throughout the library as shoppers picked out gifts and then had them wrapped at our table run by the Teen Leadership Committee. The teens also sold dozens of cookies, brownies, and other delicious treats at their bake sale.

It was a busy day at the desk to be sure, with plenty of people eager to get library cards, or their favorite books and movies. The library was full, and the day was a rousing success.

People continued to buy tickets to the basket raffle all day, and we had many thrilled winners after we pulled the tickets!

This day would not have been possible without the hard work of Dorothy Boccella, Sandy Longo, and Leah Rudolph,as well as all of the adult and teen volunteers! Thanks for helping, thanks for attending, and we'll see you next year.
