💚 Thank you, Bexley!

What started as a generous donation of local art became something even more meaningful—a community coming together to support the library.
Thanks to everyone who viewed the collection, shared the auction, and placed bids, the **Bexley Alley Watercolors Auction raised $1,265** to support the Friends of the Bexley Public Library!
Congratulations to our winning bidders—we hope these original watercolor paintings bring joy for years to come. Thank you, too, to the bexleylibrary staff who helped arrange viewings and pickup of the art.
And a very special thank you to Phoebe Kellerman for donating this beautiful collection and for capturing the quiet beauty of Bexley through her art as part of the loveyouralley_bexley initiative.
Your support helps the Friends continue funding programs, experiences, and opportunities that strengthen our library and community.
We’re grateful for all of you. 🎨📚💚
