Books, Baskets & Bids 9 3/4

Books, Baskets & Bids 9 3/4 replaces our annual April fundraiser which was canceled due to the pandemic. Instead of celebrating the valuable role ELPL plays in our community in person, grab your favorite snack and beverage and peruse the wonderful items in our auction from the comfort of your home! The proceeds will go toward developing an interactive educational children’s garden.

The East Lansing Public Library (ELPL) serves the highly diverse, ever-changing population of Michigan State University (MSU) domestic students, international students, and professors along with the permanent residents of East Lansing and the Lansing area. The City of East Lansing has a resident population of 48,579. Nearly 16 percent of the City’s population speaks a language other than English at home, with the majority in Asian languages. In addition to cultural diversity, ELPL serves socio-economic and extreme age diversity. With nearly 270,000 visitors annually, ELPL works diligently and creatively to address the interests and needs of its diverse population through an array of programs and outreach.
