The Greendale Public Library Foundation and Friends of the Library will sponsor the third annual wine-tasting fundraiser, "Wine-ing Down Summer," on Saturday, September 8 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Greendale Public Library, 5647 Broad Street.

The cost is $25 per person for advance tickets, $30 at the door. Also available are "designated driver" tickets at $10. Tickets will be on sale soon at the Library and at Chuckie's House of Wines in Franklin, who will supply the wine for the event. New this year, Chuckie's will be adding a beer-tasting table. The event features an excellent selection of wines and beers along with appetizers, live music and a Silent Auction.

Proceeds from this event go to The Greendale Public Library Foundation (GPFL), a non-profit organization dedicated to the support of the Greendale Public Library. The GPLF and Friends of the Library, in cooperation with the Library staff, provide programs for community youth such as the Summer Reading Programs. GPLF supports these efforts through the annual membership drive, and various fundraising efforts throughout the year including this Wine Tasting and the semi-annual pre-owned book sales for the benefit of the Library.

We are looking for auction items of new merchandise, gift certificates, services or monetary contributions. The names of all contributors will be placed on an auction board at the event and at the library entrance following the event. Please remember that all donations are fully tax deductible.

Any questions or requests to have donations picked up should be addressed to Jim Birmingham at 414-630-6625. Donations may also be dropped off at 7325 Edgehill Road, Greendale, WI, 53129.

The Greendale Public Library Foundation, Inc., and the Friends of the Library sponsored a haywagon for the annual Village Days parade. All of the children riding on the haywagon were from the Library's very successful Summer Reading Program. Please see the Your Photos section for some pictures from the parade.

The Friends of the Library sold $2,352.45 worth of books during their annual Village Days booksale at the Library. Thanks to Don Bauer and his crew of volunteers for a job well done.

While you’re enjoying all the wonderful Village Days events this weekend, don’t forget to stop by the Greendale Public Library on Saturday for our Friends of the Library Summer Book Sale!

The sale opens to the general public at 9 a.m., but early birds can pay a $5.00 admission fee to start shopping at 8 a.m. (Early admission fee is waived for Friends of the Library members.)

Great bargains, a great cause, and remember . . . the Library is air-conditioned!

Also, look for Library staff in the Village Days Parade on Sunday. Say “Hi!” as we stroll by!
