Shirley's Popcorn of Bluffton, is donating a percentage of its July, August and September sales to the Bluffton Public Library's "Buck$ for Book$" campaign.

The “Buck$ for Book$” fundraising campaign began as a result of the economic decline that started in 2009, which resulted in a loss of approximately 30 percent of Ohio state public library funding. With the slow recovery, the funding reduction continues. The campaign, which started last December, has an ambitious goal to raise $5,000 by the end of 2010. 

Adopt a can and save your coins this summer to make a splash for the Library's 75th Anniversary!

Can adoption begins June 7th. All cans will be due August 20, 2010. Adoption is limited to one can at a time per adult cardholder, but the whole family "can" have fun decorating and saving together!

GRAND PRIZE winner will receive an annual BFR membership!

Prize winners will be announced at the library on September 25th during our 75th anniversary celebration.
