The Wells Village Library is holding a Holiday Raffle to support purchasing additional materials for the new section of the library called the Lake St. Catherine Collection.

The collection has been curated by librarian Gina Ellis, and is devoted to lake conservation, protection, and stewardship. It includes: books, activities, experiments, iPad apps, models, and science tools like dip nets and binoculars that can be borrowed. Materials to learn from are available for all ages.

The raffle includes a custom-made walnut and epoxy charcuterie / cutting board engraved with Lake Saint Catherine from Swimming Dog Studios, a $50 gift certificate to the Wells Country Store (Juli will create a lovely charcuterie for your new board), and a bottle of Pinot Noir from Ken Wright Cellars.

Individual tickets are $30, or 4 Tickets for $100.

Specifically, your purchase of raffle tickets will help the library acquire new books, new water-related learning implements, fun and educational programming, and special events (like a Vermont Institute of Natural Science [VINS] program).

Be sure to stop in to the library to check out all the lake & stewardship themed materials in the new "Lake St. Catherine Collection", and pick up your raffle tickets!

You can also purchase tickets at the Wells Country Store. Or, if you are not currently at the lake, you can email us at info@lakestcatherine.org and we can arrange to get you a ticket.

The drawing will be Thursday, December 15th.
