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.

About the Foundation

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.

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.
