"Bid" farewell to the old library....

Mark your calendars!
The Plummer Library Board plans to host a silent salvage auction on Saturday June 12th from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. in the old library at 800 D St. Pieces of the old building will be for sale to the highest bidder. Items for the auction include birch cabinets, semi-antique typewriter desk, computer stands, several interior and exterior doors, windows, bathroom fixtures, air conditioner, electric furnace, wall heaters and miscellaneous accessories.
Library Friends will have a used book sale and the Lakeside Booster Club will provide barbecued hamburgers, hot dogs, salads and beverages during the auction.
If you live in the area, we hope you will join us and literally take a piece of the old library home with you. Proceeds from the auction will help with furnishings still needed for the new library. This is a great opportunity to show some community spirit and support! The old building is scheduled for demoliton the week after the auction to make room for a parking lot.

Library is Closed for Moving!

Paperbacks and non-fiction are shown on west

side of the new library. Volunteers and staff moved

over 16,000 books, audios and videos in 3 days.

Everyone was amazing!!

Just a reminder that both libraries are currently

closed. Staff will be moving office equipment and supplies

throughout this week. Doors, windows and other

fixtures from the old building will be auctioned off

June 12th at 1:00 p.m.

Bare shelves in old library - Some of these shelves
will be available for purchase at the auction.

What a difference a day makes

Rod & city crew cut a hole in the old building to

make transporting books much easier.
