The Bluffton Public Library staff enjoys seeing its patrons having fun.

The staff created yet another way to have fun. It's called Friday Photo Challenge.

Here's how it works:

Patrons may participate every Friday in October for a photo finish of the week.
1 - Take a photo
2 -post it on your social media profiles, and
3 - tag the library's profile, #weheartbluffton, and #fridayphoto.

If you don't have a photo-capable phone the staff will snap a picture of you to share directly to the library's social media.

Paws 2 Read, dulcimers, chill zone, tutor me paperless, adult book discussion, storytimes, the list is endless

Alice Essinger is the winner of the second annual Adult Spelling Bee held recently by the Bluffton Public Library.

Runners-up were Gail Clingerman, Arlene Garmatter and Paula Scott.

The contestants helped raise money for children’s programs, and in doing so, supported early literacy in Bluffton and its surrounding area.

Next year's spelling bee will include a family theme.
