National Coloring Book Day comes but once a year

And, the public library has everything you need to observe the day

When was the last time you picked up a crayon or colored pencil?

The Bluffton Public Library invites you to do just that on Thursday, Aug. 2. That’s because the library celebrates National Coloring Book Day. That takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the library.

The library staff will have a variety of coloring pages and coloring utensils available for patrons of all ages. Those will be available on the library’s main floor.

Feel free to share your creations with the Icon at: [email protected]

Library has big plans in August

Here's a summary of activities

Bluffton Public Library announces its August events and services. Here's a summary:

Backyard Habitats presented by Dan Hodges of Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District at the Library

Backyard Habitats, a presentation by Dan Hodges of Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District will be held on July 17 at 6 p.m.

With less than 10% of land in Allen County in any semblance of natural area, our rich natural history is in danger of becoming just that – history. Join Naturalist Dan Hodges for a sampling of what the natural world in this area has to offer, and learn a little about how you can participate -- even in your own backyard!

Free Health Clinic tomorrow morning at Bluffton library

Bluffton Public Library presents another FREE Mobile Health Clinic tomorrow from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Meet staff and students of the ONU Healthwise program in their Mobile Health vehicle in the library’s rear parking lot. This clinic offers free screenings for blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipids (please fast for 12 hours prior to your arrival if you wish to participate in the lipids screening) as well as a bone density screening for osteoporosis. Participants may speak with Healthwise students and staff about their results or concerns, and even receive referrals to area doctors.
