Silent auction items included:- Custom oil portraiture by Leon Loard;
- Autographed books;
- Wine packages;
- Specialty products and services, and lots more!
Live auction items included:
- An African Safari;
- Vacation packages and sporting events;
- Golf clubs packages;
- Themed dinners, and much more!
Support Your Library
Over $80,000 was raised to benefit programs such as Ready to Read, Summer Reading, Foundation's Scholarships, Changing Lives through Literature, and 100% of the proceeds will benefit those who live, work or study in Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax.
Thank you for helping to preserve the Fairfax County Public Library through A Library Jubilee!
The Jubilee was a resounding success and our thanks go out to everyone who participated. We look forward to seeing everyone at next year's Library Jubilee, Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 5 to 8 p.m. at another Fairfax County Public Library.
