Jammin' at the library is tonight, Thursday, April 17.

Q: What's Jammin' all about?
A: We asked Charlie Saylor and here's his response:

We are scheduled for April and May and hopefully will continue beyond that. We meet for two hours on the third Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room at the library, so that makes the April jam next Thursday, the 17th.  Tanya Augsburger is the library contact person or anyone interested can contact me at [email protected] or 419-358-8547.

On June 7, 2014, Mayor Dennis Gallant will join the Friends of The Bluffton Public Library in a 5K Run/Walk for Literacy.

Registration will begin at 8 a.m.; the run/walk will start at 9 a.m. at the Bluffton Public Library. Maps will be available at the library, on the library website, www.blufftonpubliclibrary.org, and on social media after April 1.

Book discussions, jammin’ at the library, mobile labs and lots more is on the Bluffton Public Library April calendar, according to Jessica Hermiller, library administrator.

Here’s a preview of events planned in April:
