Johnson; four 7 x 9” mounted photographs by Baldwin Coolidge of the Woburn Public Library, ca. 1889.

In addition to the live auction, this year’s Gala also features many enticing raffles, and the purchase of a “lucky” raffle ticket could win you your own wine cellar or one of several theme-based baskets.

The Annual Gala and Auction is always a spectacular celebration, as well as a major fundraising event for the Woburn Public Library. It’s an evening that combines elegance with an enthusiastic show of community support for the Library, and the Café Escadrille is a wonderful venue for this genuinely enjoyable event. Come relax with friends in their lovely function rooms before enjoying a superb dinner. Tickets for the 5th Annual Gala and Auction are $100.00 per person and are available at the Library.
