About Our Auction
Turner Public Library invites everyone to participate in their second annual Bountiful Baskets of Turner fundraiser to raise money for library equipment, reading materials, and technology.
This year’s baskets will be auctioned online, allowing bidders to place their bids remotely beginning August 18, 2018 and running through September 8, 2018. But the online aspect of the auction should not deter interested bidders. The baskets will be displayed in the library, just as they were last year, and assistance for those who want to place a bid will be available during library hours.
About Turner Public Library
Proceeding from the conviction that the sharing of information and culture is essential to an individual's flourishing and a vital society, the Turner Public Library provides a space for social gathering and the exchange of ideas in addition to curated collections and programs to address the community's needs and to advance its interests.
The Turner Public Library was founded by members of the community in 1939. It is a non-profit corporation. Support for its operations comes from extensive fund raising efforts, from a bequest given by Oakes Kilgore, and from a contribution toward operating expenses given annually by the Town of Turner. The library also depends heavily upon its volunteers. They play a vital role in both fund raising and library operations.
