The Friends of the Rockland Public Library is holding on online auction, from February 12 to February 18, of an elegant wooden card catalogue. The online auction web address is https://www.32auctions.com/FRPLauction2023.

“The hardwood catalogue case evokes the by-gone days of the Rockland Public Library, when each and every book in the library was catalogued on paper cards in the 25 drawers of the case,” said Friends, in a news release. “A sturdy piece of furniture, it’s the perfect item for any home!”

Money raised in the auction will go directly to the Rockland Public Library to support community events, free library cards for children, purchase of books and other materials, among other activities.
