Tours of personal libraries planned

Checking out what other people treasure in their own bookshelves will be unveiled in a unique and very bookish fund-raiser next month. The tour, Inside Private Libraries, is hosted by Ruth Keeler Memorial Library in North Salem.
The idea is to tour of six private libraries in North Salem from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. For those that are attending there will be a cocktail reception the evening before.
Invitations will be sent out library supporters, but others who are interested should contact the library and inquire about how much it will cost to join in this special tour and fund-raiser event.

Another clever fund-raiser is designed to help defray the cost of new chairs for the library’s conference room. Twenty chairs were purchased to match the beautiful table from the Keeler homestead given to the library by the North Salem Historical Society. Local groups and library programs use this room. So far there are opportunities to fund the cost of 17 oak chairs that remain. Cost here is $170 each.
The North Salem Free Library, now called Ruth Keeler Memorial Library, was started in 1932.
