United Way book sale and auction coming
L-R: Jean Macgregor (Library Reference Services) and Donna Mollin (Library Collection Management Services) sort through some of the fascinating items included in the library's silent auction of collectible books for the United Way. PHOTO: UVic Photo Services Mark your calendars to pick up some great reads. UVic Libraries 15th annual book sale for the United Way returns to the McPherson Gallery this year from October 7–9. As always, most books, CDs, DVDs, and records sell for $2—with all remaining items on sale by donation during the last day of the sale. The record-breaking success of the sale last year—$9,100—was due to the silent auction of collectable books. Among the generous donations for this year’s silent auction is a 1946 copy of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, and limited edition, numbered, Canadian historical maps. The silent auction also includes a number of beautiful, large-format art books and collectable works by Canadian poets. This year’s fundraising goal is $10,000. Preview the auction items.
