Foundation Book Sale

The Library has weeded a large amount of books over the last few years in an effort to keep our collection in proper shape. This means that we have boxes on boxes of books that need a new home. We now have a Foundation Book Nook in the adult section of the library for selling these books. Library staff will set up a table with a couple of these boxes every Tuesday at the Farmer’s Market.

Sparkling Tea Fundraiser

The Library Board of Trustees, in conjunction with the Foundation, are holding a Sparkling Tea Fundraiser on Sunday, April 27th, 2025. Tea sandwiches, scones, macarons, and tea cakes will be served with tea or sparkling punch. Tickets are $10 in advance, or $15 at the door.

Library Giving Day

Every year the Foundation participates in this one day event. On Tuesday, April 1st, 2025 donors can either mail their donations to the library or contribute online through the Northeast Kansas Library Foundation. Once you are on the their website, just choose the Silver Lake Library to support our organization. All donors will have their names added to our book plaques that are displayed in our children’s area.
