An Update from Us:
As some of you may know, our library has been the target of multiple thefts this year. Many of our cookbooks have been stolen from our shelves. We’re especially disappointed as not only does this impact our community’s access to these materials, but our budget does not allow for us to replace all of the stolen items. If you’d like to give back to your library, please consider donating books from our most recent Wish List, Help Us Replace Our Stolen Books, to help build back up our cookbook and craft collection.
You can also donate materials from our other Wish Lists found below.
Steps are being taken to ensure these thefts do not continue.

Help Butler Public Library build our collection!
Would you like to add to Butler Public Library’s collection by adding a book, a DVD, a graphic novel, a favorite children’s book, or other important item? We have a way for you to send a gift from yourself, or in honor of another.
Over one million books are published each year. And that is just the books! Other items that are a part of the library’s collection are also made available – magazine, journals, DVDs, to name a few. Butler Public Library adds about 1800 new items each year. This keeps our collection relevant and up to date. Our patrons, however, are always seeking more. Sadly, we cannot respond to all the “wishes” from our patrons. This fact gives you have an opportunity to help.
One way is to order through Amazon.com. To do this you can order an item from one of our wish lists (shown below).
When you order, you have two delivery options:
1.) Order an item to be shipped directly to Butler Public Library.
- When you use the attached wish list links, you will be able to select Butler Public Library as the shipping address.
- Once you pay for the item, it will be shipped directly to the Library where it will be made available for you – and others – to borrow
2.) Order the item to be shipped to you
- Use the attached wish list links, and have the item shipped to you
- Once you have enjoyed the item, turn it over to the Library as a donation. (In good condition, please.)
As a thank you, we can recognize your donation with a name plate in the book.
