Brandon, VT

The Brandon Book Clubs are at it again! They are planning a March Gala to support the Brandon Free Public Library's effort to Raise the Elevator. The Library has been working to raise monies to install an elevator to ensure access for all patrons and gain access to the beautiful third floor. It will thus give the Library much needed expansion room. To date, approximately $100,000 has been raised. The women of four Brandon and Sudbury book clubs are hoping to add $10,000 to the campaign. The gala event will take place at the Brandon Inn and will begin on Friday, March 17 at 7:00 pm. The schedule includes music for dancing by Brandon's own Bill Moore, a silent auction featuring products and gift certificates from many area businesses and baskets by the book clubs and first dibs at the Giant Book Sale. Books will be mostly in the $1-3 range. Cost to attend on Friday night is $10.00. There will be refreshments sponsored by Punderson Realty and a cash bar.
On Saturday, March 18 starting at 9 am, the Giant Book Sale and silent auction continue and there is no admission. There will be puppetry from 10-11 with Laura King, story hour from 12-1 with Stacy and Allison and children's music from 1-2 with the Nelson's. At 3 pm bargain hunters will find plummeting book prices and the final bell will ring at the silent auction at 5 pm with the end of the event.
