Santa comes to town on Tuesday with a stop at the public library

...and Bluffton fire fighters will read holiday stories to youth...don't forget that there are also refreshments
Posted by Fred Steiner on December 12, 2016 - 5:02pm

Santa Claus is coming to town on Tuesday.

He'll arrive in a large Bluffton fire truck and will meet youth of all ages at the Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main St., according to Jessica Hermiller, library administrator.

Explaining why Santa arrives on a fire truck instead of a sleigh, Hermiller told the Icon, "Santa's sleigh is in the shop and the Bluffton Fire Department is helping him out. Join us Tuesday, at 6 p.m, in the Youth Services Room to kick off the program with holiday stories read by firefighters."

You might call it a month of holidays in December at the Bluffton Public Library. Here's an overview of events planned:

On Fridays in December (2nd, 9th, and 16th), BPL will feature holiday crafts. The library will provide crafts for kids, teens, and adults to make within the library.  Take some time to be creative, and maybe your creation will be shared on our website and social media.  BPL is also seeking scrapbooking items like paper, decals, scraps, etc. to be used in future craft programs in the library.
