A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Easy as Pie Thanksgiving Pie Pickup Sale last week! Our volunteer bakers made over 50 pies–including enough for extras for us to sell in the library–and we had raised over $1,100 before the sale even started. Thanks so much to our bakers and buyers, as well as our volunteers who helped call bakers, broker pie sales, assemble boxes, design flyers, and more.
But wait there’s more . . . baked goods! We have our annual Christmas bake sale coming up on the 2nd Friday of December, like always. Last month, pies were the stars of the show. This month, it’s a little bit of everything taking center stage.

In early November, our Berryville Library Building Project launched a fundraising challenge: raise $300,000 before the end of the year. If we reach this goal, we have an anonymous donor who will donate $100,000 to the building fund. The combined $400,000 from this challenge would get us to $3.2 million already raised since April 2021 and allow us to set a date to break ground in 2024. The plan is to then raise the remaining $300,000 needed during the building process.
In November, we raised an amazing $150,000, 50% of our goal, through a mailing, radio spots on our local KTHS and KUAF stations, and a telethon on KTHS.
We cannot thank the people who donated and helped us with the telethon and mailing and other fundraising efforts enough. However, we still need to raise that other 50% to reach our goal!
