2023 FAIR THANKS!
The Staff and Library Board are so grateful for the support of those who made the September 9th, 2023 Lewisboro Library Fair such a fulfilling community experience. We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves while raising funds for their hometown library! As you know, all proceeds from this event are used to keep our Library operating day to day as a real community center – a haven of activity, learning and enrichment that is enjoyed by all. We are so appreciative of all who helped us raise money, be it through sponsorship, in-kind donations, volunteer time, contributing books and attic treasures items to sell – not to mention those who attended and spent money that day!
A special thanks to the businesses who make the Fair possible by underwriting the
cost of staging this event. They are: Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, Cross River Demon
Shell, ECR Eurocar, Houlihan Lawrence Katonah, The Hudson Milk Company, JPL
Construction, Marshall Oil Company, Meccanic Shop North Inc, Mercedes-Benz of Goldens
Bridge, Ring’s End, and South Salem Auto Care, whose sponsorship helped underwrite the cost
of the Fair, so more proceeds can go directly to the operating budget.
Our Library Fair is Lewisboro’s largest community event, and could not happen without
the collaborative efforts and generous contribution of time, energy and resources from local civic
and charitable organizations, district and town resources, local clubs and individual volunteers.
These volunteers are a loyal and generous group of individuals that have devoted endless hours,
and often many years, to the organization and execution of the Fair. This shared spirit and
devotion to our Library is what makes this community so special!
