Viva Warner! Silent Art Auction to Benefit Warner Library

Viva Warner! Silent Art Auction to benefit Library happening throughout the month of October.

We're very excited to announce the Silent Art Auction now hanging in the Library Gallery. Thanks to the generosity of local artists who have donated their work to benefit the library we have: oil paintings, watercolors, photographs, woodcuts, brass rubbings, pottery and more. Among the 60 pieces on display is a bamboo broach designed by an artist who formerly worked for Tiffany & Co. 100% of the proceeds will go toward building improvements and programs at the library.

The community is encouraged to come to see the artwork and place bids on their favorite pieces.  The silent auction launched October 1 and will continue until October 31. There will be a reception on October 20 from 2-4 p.m. Everyone is invited to celebrate the generosity of the artists.  

You can see the artwork online at warnerlibrary.org/viva. If you are unable to come to the library to place a bid, we will be happy to help you over the phone at 631-7734. Here is a sampling of the artwork.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
