About the Collection
This impressive collection features Silkstone and original Barbies, as well as many vintage and collector's outfits which may be worn by reproduced Barbies. The collector really appreciated the clothing, outfits, and even sewed some of the outfits featured. There are sewing patterns and other collector items sold as a lot. We have worked hard to notate one of a kinds, Silkstones, originals, or reproduced wearing a specific outfit. We are incredibly appreciative to Bruce Burnett and his late wife in helping us reach our goals to support the library expansion project.
The Foundation's mission is to make the Sun Prairie Public Library the best it can be and we achieve this through volunteerism, advocacy and fundraising. Currently the Sun Prairie Public Library Foundation is managing a $3.5 Million dollar capital campaign to support the expansion and renovation of the library, set to break ground in June 2024.
The Next Chapter Expansion and Renovation Project will add 25,000 square feet to the east of the current library building as well as a renovation of the existing space. We are very excited to expand into programming space where we can continue our work of building strong literacy skills, strong readers, and a strong community.
If you are unable to attend but wish to support the Sun Prairie Public Library Foundation's efforts to meet its $3.5 million dollar goal for the Next Chapter Expansion Project, please donate here:
