About Our Auction
This year’s auction proceeds will be used to support the recent announcement by the Mississippi Mills Public Library that there will no longer be fees applied to late returns of library materials. Great news for the community! However, this initiative means the library will have a budget shortfall of approximately $4,000. Bad news for the library. The Friends of the Mississippi Mills Public Library have taken up the challenge to raise the money to re-balance the budget and to continue supporting the library in all it's initiatives,
About FRIENDS OF MISSISSIPPI MILLS PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Friends of MMPL consists of a group of enthusiastic volunteers, committed to raising funds to support programming at the Almonte and Pakenham Branches of the library. From 2019- 2024 we have managed to donate almost $45,500 to programs such as Kids Summer Camps, Fine Free Library, Digital Services, such as Kanopy and Libby, and New Book Club Sets. To do this we currently organize an annual silent auction, a staged play reading, an annual book sale, 2 live!@the library concerts, and a Christmas book sale. Watch the Humm, the Millstone, and local social media for upcoming events.
