Online Library Auction

Someone passed along This Story from the great city of Columbus, OH.

The Bexley Library has taken to auctioning books on the web to help raise money.

They\’ve been doing it for 2 years and have raised $1,800 by selling about 100 books online. The library\’s biggest items: two pamphlets and a signed letter from Booker T. Washington that went for $500.

\”They knew that they had some gems they were getting,\” said Sandy Lemkin, a reference librarian at Bexley Library. \”It\’s a wider audience that you can appeal to. When you\’re on eBay, you have wonderful exposure.\”
