The Bellevue Public Library is inviting the community to warm up this winter while supporting a great cause with a special Snuggle Up and Read Raffle Basket fundraiser.

Tickets may be purchased for a one dollar donation each at the library during regular hours. Participants do not need to be present at the drawing to win.
