Posted by Fred Steiner on June 28, 2012 - 12:28pm

The Bluffton Public Library Board of Trustees approved bids to move forward with its "Access for All" project at its June 26 meeting. The project includes adding push-button automation to entrances on both levels, a curb cut-out on the lower level and magnetic devices to hold open a set of heavy, fire-rated doors to improve access to the elevator from the lower level.

The final project cost is expected to be between $10,000 and $11,000, and the work is expected to be complete by the end of summer.

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 14, 2012 - 11:50am

Bluffton Public Library will be closed from Monday, July 2, to Saturday, July 7, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. The bookdrop will also remain closed during that week.

Both the library and the bookdrop will reopen to the public at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, July 9. Due to state funding cuts that exceed $75,000 per year, the library's board of trustees has approved closing additional days around the holidays to reduce expenses and to avoid reducing regular hours during the year.
