Hi all, Since the East Lansing Public Library had to cancel our Ninth Annual Books, Bites, & Bids fundraiser in April, we are hosting our annual fundraising event online! The auction begins Wednesday, November 18 at 8:00 am and runs through Monday, November 23 at 10:00 pm. You will have the opportunity to bid on 87 wonderful baskets, but from the convenience of your home during the Online Auction - Books, Baskets, & Bids 9 3/4. This premier annual event, whether in-person or online, is held to celebrate the successes of the library with the community, while raising money for library projects. Who knows, you might find a great holiday gift. You can participate in the Online Auction by first creating an account, which involves providing an email address, a password, and agreeing to the terms of the auction.
