Recent donations to the Friends of the Sierra
Madre Library Book Sale Committee have contained some very special books
including a signed novel by the late Tom Clancy. These exceptional books will be featured in a
Silent Auction to be held in the Sierra Madre Public Library, 440 W. Sierra
Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre from Friday, November 1, 2013 through Monday, November
25, 2013. The books will be on display
in the display case in the library’s main room.
To inspect the books more closely, visit the library every Saturday in November
from 1-2 PM.
Bidding sheets and rules will be available in
a notebook located on the library’s checkout counter. Each of the books for sale at the auction
will be numbered and will have a corresponding numbered bid sheet in the
notebook. Bidders are asked to write
their bid amounts and a contact telephone number on the appropriate bid
sheet. Bidding will close promptly at 8
PM on November 25. Winning bidders will
be notified by telephone the next day and will then be able to pick up their
books at the library.
