Bluffton Public Library spring-summer programming focuses on youth

The staff of the Bluffton Public Library provided the Icon with the following information on their spring and summer programming:

• A Wee Ones storytime for babies and toddlers will be held on May 9, at 10:30 a.m. and will be offered at that same time on the second Thursday of the month throughout the summer.
• Preschool storytime sessions are held at 6:30 p.m. on Mondays and 10:00 a.m. on Tuesdays. Preschool storytime sessions will continue throughout April and then resume again in June and July.  Advance registration is requested for all storytime sessions.
• Tuesday after school “chill” programs provide a wide variety of activities including free movies, make and take crafts, or just a place to hang out.

Teen Programming:

• The library also has a variety of programs for teens in grades 6 through 12.  Teens that visit the library and complete a program interest survey during April will be entered in a drawing to win a tasty prize!
• A Teen Advisory Group (TAG) meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 4.  Current members and anyone interested in joining the group is welcome to attend. TAG members meet once or twice a month to help plan and present programs, suggest materials to order for the Teen section, and assist with library projects.
• On Thursday, April 18, teens can drop in to meet and swap ideas about their favorite must reads. Free refreshments will be provided.
• This year’s summer read themes are “Dig into Reading!” for youth and adults, and “Beneath the Surface” for teens. 
• The library will soon be accepting Volunteen applications for those interested in helping with our summer reading program registration and activities throughout June and July.
