In the spirit of this year’s Blaze of Lights, the Icon offers viewers a daily local gift idea based upon the 12 Days of Christmas theme. There’s no need to shop out of town or on the internet for Christmas gifts this year.
On the fifth day of Christmas I shopped at...
Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main St.
For the person who really has everything, the public library has its own book wish list.
Several holiday-related activities are on the Bluffton Public Library calendar this week.
Get your craft on for holiday craft festivities on Friday, Dec. 21. Craft stations will be set up around the library and displays will feature material to keep your family creating throughout these colder
The ONU Healthwise Mobile Health Clinic is going on NOW until 11:30 a.m. right in front of the library! Today they are offering free flu shots (while supplies last) and free screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol (please fast for 12 hours prior to your arrival to participate in the cholesterol or blood sugar screening). Participants may speak with Healthwise students and licensed medical staff about their results or concerns, and even receive referrals to area doctors.
December is a great month to take part in one of many events at the Bluffton Public Library. Here’s the schedule:
Monday, Dec. 3, from 3 to 5 p.m. children ages 3-11 and their families are invited to a Makerspace petting zoo. Play with Strawbees, Snap Circuits and more.
Family Storytime sessions are Tuesdays, Dec. 4 (Reindeer Storytime) and Dec. 11, (Snowflake Storytime), from 10 to 10:30 a.m. All ages are welcome, and no registration is required for Family Storytime events.
With the weather cooling and the holiday season quickly approaching, the Bluffton Public Library becomes a destination stop for community members looking for something to enjoy on quiet nights in or long car trips.
