Are you on Facebook? If so, The Bloomfield Public Library needs your help! The library has entered a Facebook contest to win over 1600 books in the For Dummies series. The Facebook fanpage with the most “Likes” wins, and we need your likes!

We’re currently behind a MI library by about 80 likes. We need to close the gap and gain more likes to win. Please help. Go to www.tinyurl.com/BPLnjFacebook and please tell all your friends to like it as well.

To thank you, our fans, for liking this page, we’re willing to offer the following incentive; a contest within the contest, if you will. If we win those books, we’ll randomly pick a number of our fans (the number will be the first 2 digits of the total number of our likes) who can dedicate their choice of the 1600+ dummies book to someone of their choice.
