Blogger's Note: The following was provided by the Pottstown Regional Public Library.
The Pottstown Regional Public Library's Second Annual CHAIR-ity auction is now in the works.
The plain wooden chairs are painted and decorated by local artists to evoke favorite books and then auctioned off as a library fundraiser.

| This chair “Secret Garden” was painted by Arline C. Christ, and sponsored by Thomas L Zeigler, PE |
The library is now recruiting sponsors for twenty chairs, at $100 each.
The chairs this year are full-sized chairs donated by The Hill School, and little-people chairs from a Pennsylvania elementary school.
Three chairs from 2019's auction can be seen in the window of the William J Brogley Law Firm, 18 S. Charlotte St in Pottstown, where Annie, the voracious reading dog, tries to lure passersby to the window to have a look.
Brogley, a member of the Pottstown Regional Public Library’s Board of Directors, said he loves to display and use these works of art by area artists.
Another chair from the 2019 fundraiser can be seen on the Mezzanine level of the library.
It was purchased by Elliott Menkowitz with the $500 Buy-it-Now option, and then in turn offered to the library as repurposed functional artwork.
Individuals and businesses interested in sponsoring a chair for the artists to paint should contact the Library at 610 970 6551, text Deb Penrod at 215 840 9943, or stop by the library.
Chairs will be available for viewing and bidding starting April 1, with winning bids announced on May 2 at a reception at the Library.
