Tickets turned in after this time will be placed in the drawing for the following week. Three readers will be chosen per weekly drawing. All tickets turned in will be eligible for the grand prize (4 tickets to Kings Island) at the end of the program on July 28^th.

Children can pick up a timed reading record at the library through July 14th. Children are encouraged to read for an hour a week, once an adult signs their record, they may bring it to the library for a weekly prize, just for reading. It is that simple! So stop in the library to get your reading record.                                                   

                                                                  

Sponsoring a magazine is a wonderful way to help the library save money. All you have to do is select a magazine from the magazine list and pay for a one year subscription. A name plate will be placed on the shelf below the magazine to designate your donation. You will have the first opportunity to have the magazines when they are released for the book sale. Each year, a reminder will be sent to you if you would like to sponsor it again.

Here are the titles that are still available for sponsorship.  Contact the library for pricing details.

The W.E. Bliss Foundation Research Library is now open for those who would like to do genealogy or other local history research. It is open Monday through Friday from 11:00-5:00 p.m. and Saturdays by appointment only.

Do you have a cell phone you no longer use? Place it in the cell phone recyling box next to the eye glasses recycling box near the front door.

1923 replicas of the Bloomville School are being sold by the Tiffin Alumni Association at Bliss Library for $15.00. The replica shows the school before the elementary addition was built in 1955. Many of you have the 1955 replica, so this would be an additional piece to your collection of Bloomville School memorabilia.

Rated R Silver Linings Playbook. I just finished reading the book in a couple of days. Good read!

 

 

 

Rated R Django Unchained. Looks good to me.

 

 

 

Rated PG Life of Pi. I wasn't sure about this movie when I took it home but it turned out to be one of the best movies I have watched for awhile. Highly recommended! We also have the book if you would like to check it out.
