Bainbridge Island Rotary Club has been a long-time, strong supporter of our island library. The very first Rotary Auction (1960) was organized and run to raise funds for the new Bainbridge Public Library. The second Rotary Auction (1961) was held to raise funds for the furnishings. From that start, the annual Rotary Auction has become a beloved island tradition and is one of the most exciting community events of the year. In 2016, the Rotary very generously supported the "Library Refresh" project with a gift of $100,000.
