The Friends of the Cook Public Library are excited to renew their Holiday Basket fundraiser.
Volunteers lovingly assemble themed baskets just right for gift giving and display them throughout the Cook Public Library.
Baskets arrive at the library November 14 and are on display through December 15 during regular library hours.
Everyone is welcome to visit the library and add a bid to a silent auction basket or buy tickets for a chance to win a raffle basket.
The silent auction ends and raffle drawing begins on December 15 at 5:00 p.m. Winners will be notified, need not be present to win.
