The Nov. 24 Brandon Free Public Library holiday auction, sponsored by The Friends of the Library, was once again a successful afternoon. We are so grateful for the many ways people find to support the library. Our community businesses, organizations, and individuals are all so generous. 
We have many people to thank, without each group and each individual, this event would not be possible. We hope that we have missed no one.
