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.
Santa will visit the Bluffton Public Library from 6-7 p.m. on December 15. The Bluffton Fire Department will be there, too, with their antique fire truck to make sure Santa's ready for his trip around the world.
