SHELBY — The 29th annual Friends of Shelby Area District Library’s fundraiser Celebration of the Holidays is set for Tuesday, Nov. 19, through Saturday, Nov. 23, at the Shelby Area District Library.

View over 50 displays, table decorations, gift baskets, wreaths, and themed life-like trees available for silent auction bidding. The community is invited to view the beautiful displays during regular Shelby library hours and place bids until noon Saturday, Nov. 23. Bidders can also call the library at 231-861-4565 to place bids by phone.

The holiday displays may also be viewed on the Shelby Area District Library Facebook page. A “Buy it Now” table will have priced holiday items for sale. “Many unique items will be offered for sale or silent auction that you won’t find online or in stores,” said Cindy McKinnon, president of Friends of SADL. “If you are looking for an unusual gift or want something that will refresh your home décor, this holiday sale has so much to offer with proceeds benefiting the Shelby library.”

The Friends of Shelby Area District Library are also sponsoring a chance to win a beautiful holiday basket. For each donation of $10 or more, an ornament with the donor’s name (or anonymous) will be on display in the library with the donor’s name entered into a drawing for a Friends Gift Basket filled with gift certificates and holiday goodies valued at more than $250.

Local businesses participating with gift certificates and merchandise include Woodland Farm Market, Pizza Factory, Birch & Blossom Florist, Images, Blondies, Lakeside Rehab and Family Fitness Center, Affordable Auto, Storybook Village, Stony Lake Inn, The Farmhouse Restaurant, Claybanks Pottery, and more. To participate, pick up an entry form at the library and leave a donation of cash or check made out to Friends of S.A.D.L. or mail your donation to: Friends of Shelby Area District Library, 189 Maple Street, Shelby, MI 49455. Drawings for two Friends Holiday Baskets will be Dec. 19 with winners notified by phone.
