The beautiful dollhouse currently on display in the children’s section was a gift from former Library Trustee Earla Sue McNaull, and it was painted by Cynthia Mannino, local artist and current Library Trustee. Each room of the dollhouse was inspired by books that were meaningful to both of these library advocates and their children.

 The dollhouse, along with all the books pictured in its rooms, will be raffled  off in keeping with Earla Sue’s wishes to raise funds for the Ulysses Philomathic Library.  Tickets are on sale now at the circulation desk: $1 each or 6 for $5.

The raffle will be held at the Library’s annual StoryBake auction on October 21, 2017.
