Alpine Public Library Artwalk Silent Auction

Find something you love. Help the library.

Every Artwalk, the Alpine Public Library fills a room with donated art and one-of-a-kind finds, and this year that room is the Granada. Step in off Holland Avenue between gallery stops, take your time at the tables, and put your bidder number down on the pieces you can’t walk away from.

The silent auction is the library’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and every dollar raised supports library operations. Almost half of the library’s annual budget comes from the community through donations, fundraisers and Re-Reads sales. Past auctions have included original artwork, jewelry, gift baskets, handmade crafts and plenty of things you won’t find anywhere else.

How it works

• Get a bidder number: free to enter, Friday 10 AM to 10 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 8 PM. Bidder numbers are available starting Friday morning, and you bid with your number instead of your name.
• Bid, or take it home now: every item has a walk-away price you can pay to take it with you on the spot, and there’s a “buy it now” section too.
• Bidding closes: Saturday at 8 PM. Winning bid numbers are posted outside by 9 PM.
• Pay and pick up: Saturday until 10 PM, or Sunday from 10 AM to 1 PM. The library calls winners who haven’t picked up yet. Cash, card or check.Donate an item
  The library is still taking donations of new or gently used art, jewelry, books, handmade crafts, antiques and other unique items (no clothing, please). Bring them to the library at 805 W Avenue E through November 19, Monday to Friday 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 1 PM, or to the Granada November 17 to 20.
