Annual tasting, auction date set

Planning has begun for the Friends of the West Bonner Libraries 18th annual Wine & Microbrewery Tasting and Auction.

The event will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 3 at the Beardmore Building in downtown Priest River. Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased at the Priest River Library, the Blanchard Library or from Friends members. It’s a chance to enjoy a variety of wines and microbrews, good food and a fun auction and support your West Bonner Libraries.

This year, the Friends of the Library biggest fundraiser will focus on an expansion for the Priest River branch. The addition will more than double the size of the library. Construction will begin in the spring of 2020.

Donations for the auction are being accepted now and can be dropped off at either library. For more information call the library at 208-448-2207.
