The Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main, provided the following comprehensive December 2021 programs and services update.
Services Update
The health and safety of our patrons and staff at the Bluffton Public Library are a top priority. Based on Allen County Health Department's guidance, library masking guidelines are as follows: Patrons ages 10 and up are required to wear a face mask that properly covers the nose and mouth. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult (ages 18+) who will remain with them during their visit. Returns continue to be made in the outdoor book drop. For more information about library procedures, please visit our website or refer to signs posted on the library’s front door. Curbside Pickup is still available for those who prefer this service.

The Bluffton Disc Golf Association has announced that the first ten baskets have been installed for the new disc golf course at the Village Park located on County Line Rd. just south of the I-75 overpass.
With a major donation from Bluffton Hospital, all baskets have been acquired. Approximately half of the hole sponsorships have been sold. With these funds the concrete tee pads, signage and features like benches and bridges will be purchased and installed.
