Buffalo News, 9/4/2011.
Excerpt: The Buffalo News is starting "Bucks for Books" today to purchase children's and adult books for the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system.
The goal is to raise $250,000 to help offset an expected loss of $900,000 in funding for purchase of materials in 2012. The donations will be used to purchase books at all 37 branch libraries.
