LIBRARY SILENT AUCTION

Did you know that Abner Doubleday, the supposed 
inventor of baseball, was a Civil War general whose 
eyewitness accounts of the battles of Chancellorsville and 
Gettysburg were published in 1882 by Charles Scribner 
and Sons?Or that T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, 
published an autobiographical account of his adventures in 
Arabia during World War I in a book titled Seven Pillars 
of Wisdom? Or that Ray Bradbury wrote a mystery, Death 
is a Lonely Business, set in Venice, California whose main 
character is thought to be Bradbury himself portrayed 
just before his marriage and his success with The Martian 
Chronicles? Donations to the Friends of the Sierra Madre 
Library have included the Doubleday book, a first edition of 
the Lawrence account, and a signed first trade edition of the 
Bradbury mystery.

These exceptional books are among the 15 volumes featured 
in the Friends Book Sales Committee’s first Silent Auction 
being held in the Sierra Madre Public Library, 440 W. Sierra 
Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre through Monday, October 29. 
The books will be on display in the display case in the 
library’s main room. To inspect the books more closely, 
visit the library every Saturday in October from 1-2 PM. 

Bidding sheets and rules are available in a notebook located 
on the library’s checkout counter. Bidding will close 
promptly at 8 PM on October 29. Winning bidders who are 
not present will be notified by telephone the next day and 
will then be able to pick up their books at the library.

Proceeds from the Silent Auction will benefit the Sierra Madre 
Library’s programs, services, and acquisitions. For more 
information and a complete list of the books to be auctioned, 
visit our website at www.sierramadrelibraryfriends.org. For 
the Sierra Madre Library hours, call 626 355-7186.

PASADENA HUMANE 

SOCIETY BEGINS DOG 
LICENSE CANVASING

The Pasadena Humane Society has begun 
door-to-door canvasing to ensure 
that all dogs in Sierra Madre are licensed. 

By law, every dog must wear a current 
license tag at all times. The Pasadena 
Humane Society issues dog licenses for 
Arcadia, La Cañada/Flintridge, San Marino, 
and Sierra Madre. Dog licenses 
may be obtained at any time of year, and 
are good for one year from that date. 
Dogs must be 4 months or older, and 
you must provide a current rabies certificate. 
Licenses must be renewed every 
year, even though the license tags are 
permanent.

You may purchase your dog’s license at 
the Pasadena Humane Society front office 
during business hours or at City 
Hall. Please call PHS at 626-792-7151 
x115 or email licensing@phsspca.org if 
you have any questions. The licensing 
officers are available at PHS Tuesday-
Friday from 2 pm-6 pm and Saturday 2 
pm-5 pm.
