Every year the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library celebrates the American Girl book series by auctioning off an American Girl doll and the latest books. Young People's Department Head Kelly Liptak said there is still time to purchase tickets for the American Girl Doll Auction, which are on sale now through Thursday, July 15. Tickets for the doll auction are $2 each. The more tickets you buy the better chance at winning the doll auction. This year’s doll is “Kira.” In the “Kira” book series, she visits her aunt at a wildlife park in Australia.
To go along with the “Kira” books’ theme, the library is also selling Outback Odyssey bags! ! The bags include a free ticket for the doll auction , a snack, a necklace, an Australian stuffed animal, a recipe for the Australian snack, “Fairy Bread,” and a craft based on the Aboriginal clapping sticks! Bags cost $10 each.
Winners of the doll auction and book series will be notified by phone or email by July 22. All proceeds from ticket and bag sales benefit the book donation program - DBPL at DBPL: Donating Books to Promote Literacy. This program allows the Library to provide organizations, schools, daycares, etc., with free books for classroom and home libraries.
