Thanks to the Friends of the Library for donating a third popcorn machine to Carnegie-Stout Public Library. Their first two popcorn machines helped us give away free boxes of Dubuque's tastiest popcorn to 11,927 attendees at 256 movies over the last 21 years! If you were one of these library moviegoers, please like and share this post, and add your thanks to the Friends in the comments below. Cheers!
