Library begins its holiday events

Own a Piece of History

The Churchill County Museum & Archives presents images from their photography collection through October. These items will be auctioned off at a museum fundraiser in November.

Food for Fines

Through December 2 return any overdue library material and pay your fine with a non-perishable food item.

One food item for each overdue library item. All food will be donated to Out of Egypt Food Pantry.

Holiday Celebration and Wreath and Centerpiece Extravaganza

Create a holiday wreath or centerpiece to donate to the library where it will be sold at silent auction.

Donors may choose any theme or color scheme and can be based on the type of business you conduct, a favorite hobby, or whatever strikes your fancy.

Wreaths and centerpieces can be delivered beginning Oct.31. The silent auction ends on Dec.7 with the Holiday Celebration. This fundraiser and event is sponsored by the Churchill Library Association. Proceeds benefit the Churchill County Library community through programs and events.
