Literary Basket Drawing

The Friends’ Literary Baskets are back, and we have some great ones for you this year. Tickets are just $1.00 each. If you wish to enter the drawing, simply purchase the number of tickets you wish to enter – be sure to fill out the ticket and mark which basket number you wish to win, then put the tickets in the correct box at the check out desk before April 23rd.

Photos of the baskets will be on display at the Visalia Library until April 23rd, and the drawing will be that evening at a free Friends’ Author Fair event where you can meet some of our local authors. You do not have to be present to win.

More information on each of the 9 baskets is available in this flyer (PDF):
