Exeter Public Library 4th Anniversary Fundraisers

Annual Raffle Has Begun!
This year we have over 60 prizes to win! Tickets are $10 for 25
chances or $5 for 10 chances. Prizes are mostly donated from local
businesses and have a value of at least $10.00.
All prizes are on display at the library. Some highlights include: $25
gift cards for Hess Gas, a one-year membership to AAA, and free
admission to Mystic Aquarium.
Winners will be selected at the Library’s Fourth Anniversary
Celebration on Saturday, September 13th. You don’t need to be present
to win, but we’d love you to join us (and we’d have fewer prizes to
haul back to the library for you to pick up!) More info about the
raffle can be found on our website: www.exeterpubliclibrary.org.
Tickets must be purchased in person at the Library.
