Campbell Friends’ fundraisers support Love our Library Campaign

Friends fundraisers

The Friends of the Campbell Library is holding a number of fundraisers to support the Love our Library Campaign to raise $250,000 to provide the enhancements for the new Campbell Library. Donations will go toward the library’s community room, meeting rooms, a children’s room and a teen area.

Bibliophiles who want to support the library can peruse the Friends’ eBay Auction through Aug. 4. Items include nine collector’s edition leatherbound books by William Faulkner; Life magazines from the ’60s; A 2025 book by Rick Steves, “On The Hippie Trail,” about his 1968 adventure from Istanbul to Kathmandu; a leatherbound edition of “The  Psychology of the Unconscious” by Carl Jung, a 23-book collection of the Berenstain Bears; a boxed set of three books on the Civil War; and a boxed edition of the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft.
