Dine Out for the Library
It’s pizza time! Locals and visitors have enjoyed Mother Bear’s award winning pizza since 1973. Mother Bear's Pizza will donate $5 for every large pizza you purchase when you bring your flyer and dine, 11 am - Midnight on Tuesday, October 16. You can enjoy inside dining, carry out your pizza, or call for delivery at either the campus or west side location. Simply show your flyer available at library kiosks or print from our website. Please note, you need a separate flyer for each large pizza ordered. One pizza - one flyer. Two pizzas - two flyers. Ten pizzas - ten flyers and it's a party! No electronic coupons will be accepted. You must hand them a printed flyer. Your dining out has brought in more than $15,000 for the Library! Thank you for enjoying all that great food.
