Baskets of goodies to be raffled for Lawrence Public Library
In celebration of National Library Week, the Lawrence Public Library Foundation will have its third annual “Win a Basket” fundraiser this week.
Groups of friends, local businesses and other library supporters have created more than 20 themed baskets for this event, each valued at $100 or more. For a $2 suggested donation, patrons can enter to win a basket. For online donations, the minimum suggested donation is $10 for six chances to win.
The baskets are on display today through Sunday in the Lawrence Public Library lobby, 707 Vt. They can also be viewed online at lawrencepubliclibraryfoundation.org.
Drawings for winners will be Sunday. All proceeds will benefit the library.
