...and Bluffton fire fighters will read holiday stories to youth...don't forget that there are also refreshments

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."

Informational meeting open to the public

Got library fines?

During the week of Dec. 5, Bluffton Public Library offers Food for Fines. This is an opportunity for patrons to have some fines waived while helping the community at the same time.

For each canned good donated during the week, $1 is forgiven from a patron's fines.

Check the flyer and the Food Pantry wishlist for requested items and restrictions. The library is unable to accept items that are expired or damaged.

Music, refreshments, storytime, Yoga and even a fire truck (with a guy in a red suit driving)

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.

Wednesday, Nov. 23, is the final day to make a bid on items or purchase them in the Bluffton Public Library's holiday gift basket silent auction.

The auction closes promptly at 5 p.m. and winners will be notified the following week.
