BOONSBORO, MD -- Inn BoonsBoro on The Square’s inaugural special event, a charity auction that encourages guests to Read Always & Shine will be held October 22, 2011 to benefit the Washington County (MD) Free Library Rebuild and ProLiteracy Worldwide, LLC.

The sparkling evening offers guests the opportunity to bid on fabulous art and stunning jewelry. A silent auction of unique artwork by celebrated local artists precedes a live auction of selected pieces from New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts’ personal jewelry collection.

An online auction will be held in conjunction with the live event to give Nora’s many loyal readers a chance to bid on pieces she has worn and loved.
