Silent Auction

The Friends have a monthly silent auction that begins at the first of the month and ends at 3:00 p.m. on the last Saturday of the month. There are usually around 30 auction lots which are of a similar theme, like art, literature, history, etc.

The items are on display in the bookstore cases and window during the month.  The bidders book is located on the cashier's desk in the bookstore.

All proceeds from the auction are used to support the Mission Viejo Library.
