The Michigan Library Association (MLA) will be hosting a silent auction at our Annual Conference October 18-20, 2023 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the MLA Scholarship Fund and MLA's Equity Grant Fund. We are asking for donations of any kind to this auction: library bling, vendor give-a-ways, new books, posters, a weekend stay in a fabulous location, basically anything which could either stand alone as an auction item or could be placed in a basket along with other items. If you have anything you would like to contribute or want more information, please contact Cindi Place at bellairelibrary@torchlake.com or call Bellaire Library 231-533-8814. We hope to have another successful auction this year, and would appreciate anything you might be willing to contribute. If you could simply respond to this email if you have something you can contribute, that would be awesome. Contact me to arrange for pick up of any donated items. Thanks in advance for any donations you may make. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. -- Cindi L.
