If one wasn't enough, Buhler has two libraries, each with unique offerings. The Buhler High School library will start a pilot program beginning this year adding extended hours each Thursday evening. The BHS library will remain open until 8:30 to allow students and citizens extra time to utilize the school's media facilities including computer, book, and research study. Contact the high school's media specialist, Melva Barlow, for more information: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The even bigger news is the Buhler Library was recently able to purchase the old glider rocker building at 2^nd and Main through a substantial donation from Dave and Pat Franz of Frederick, MD, both natives of Buhler. Dr. David R. Franz grew up in town and used the library extensively as a child. He attributes his early education and appreciation for learning in part to the influence of the library. Dr. Franz is the Vice President & Chief Biological Scientist for Midwest Research Institute and the Senior Advisor for Biosecurity Engagement, Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs. The Buhler Library is listed on a nationally recognized list of excelling libraries. The new expansion will help the library capitalize on these successes and add many new programs and services for Buhler.
