Up to 20% of the funds taken in from the fundraiser will be donated to the Library. There are four ways you can participate in the fundraiser:<br \/>\n1. Purchase items the day of the event.<br \/>\n2. Pick up a paper order form from the Library, select items you wish to purchase and turn it back into the Library by Wednesday September 19th. Items will be delivered to the Library the day of the event and payment can be made at that time.<br \/>\n3. Reserve products online for pick up at the Library the day of the event. Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schwansfundraising.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.schwansfundraising.com<\/a> and use campaign Id: 40291.<br \/>\n4.
