"Guy With Camera" Photo Display & Silent Auction

Support the arts - and your public library - by checking out “Guy With Camera,” a display of photographs by library staff member Benjamin Sprague.  The collection samples recent collaborative and solo projects, as well as events organized by the Oshkosh Photography Group. A silent auction will run concurrent with the exhibit, and proceeds from all photo sales will benefit the Friends of the Library, a support organization which sponsors library activities and performances.

In addition to the framed photos on display, patrons may order prints of various sizes of these and other images - such as "Parson's Creek at Hobbs Woods," at right, on permanent display in the library, all as part of the fundraiser and at special prices.  Details are available at the library.

The display will run throughout May and June with bids being accepted until Saturday, June 30, when a “Final Bid Scramble” will take place from 11:00 am - Noon.  Enjoy refreshments and chat with the library’s “staff photographer” while keeping tabs on your lot.  For more information, contact the library (920) 748-6160.
