Donations & Silent Auction

Proceeds from the Auction benefit the Library.

As part of the 3rd Annual Book Festival, the Friends of the Library will present a silent auction.   A large part of the donations for the auction are books donated and signed by the authors.  There are also items donated by local businesses, individual library supporters and The Friends Book Shoppe.  Below find a list of donors & items to be auctioned.  If you would like to donate an item for the silent auction please contact The Friends of the Oro Valley Public Library.

On behalf of all of us at the Library we would like to extend a huge Thank You to all who are helping make this effort a monumental success with their donations!

We also want to acknowledge those who are donating outside of the auction venue.  Thank You!
