<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Since the East Lansing Public Library had to cancel our Ninth Annual Books, Bites, & Bids fundraiser in April, we are hosting our annual fundraising event online! The auction begins Wednesday,
November 18 at 8:00 am and runs through Monday, November 23 at 10:00 pm. You will have the opportunity to bid on 87 wonderful baskets, but from the convenience of your home during the Online Auction - Books, Baskets, & Bids 9 3/4. This premier annual event,
whether in-person or online, is held to celebrate the successes of the library with the community, while raising money for library projects. Who knows, you might find a great holiday gift.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
