The Friends of the Southern York County Library are holding a silent auction of two framed prints, two original framed paintings, and one autographed watercolor print. The artwork was donated to the Southern York County Library by local artists and friends.

The silent auction will run until 4 p.m. Saturday, April 1, when the bids will be closed. Each work will be awarded to the highest bidder at that time.
