Many thanks to all the wonderful people who donated items to the Friends of Murphy Library’s annual Silent Auction, the Cooking Supplies Sale, the Cookbook Sale, and the Book Sale!
Thanks also to the hard-working volunteers, the library staff, and the finger food makers.
Most of all, our deep gratitude goes to all of you who came to the auction and found one, two or many treasures. We made over $2,900 from the Silent Auction and over $550 from the Cooking Supplies, Cookbook and Book Sale. Funds will be used to enhance the Cherokee Cultural and Research Center that is being established in the Genealogy Room for all to enjoy.

Crafters and artists sell their excess supplies, finished crafts and make a donation to the Bee fund. They love to talk about their work. Sammie Simpson, Jo-Ann Allen, Sharon Francis, Kathy Hoyt and Leslie Beaster will have tables full of quilts, quilting fabrics, yarn, scrapbook items, sewing items and lots more. The Friends sell donated items including a whittling set, tie-dye paints with t-shirts, fabrics, and frames. Moreover, Friends members like Louise MacDonald are there to lend advice to novice crafters.
Are your bookshelves empty? The Murphy Library’s Books in the Breezeway shelves have been reorganized making it easy to find your favorite authors, fiction and nonfiction, and lots of books on tape. And when you buy books on tape, they leave your hands free for, what else, your favorite craft. Call 837-2417 for details.
