Bluffton Public Library fundraiser is "Home for the Holidays"

By Paula Scott

The Bluffton Public Library is continuing its “Home for the Holidays” fundraiser–a stay at home style event–that was started in 2020. It has been so successful that the library has not returned to the silent auction format. It is an opportunity to remind people of the opportunity to support the library during this season of giving, notes Library Director Jessica Hermiller.

While there is a target date of December 31, donations are welcome at any time of the year. Ways to donate are listed HERE.

“Fundraisers really do impact the collection and services we are able to provide,” she told the Icon. “The money that’s brought in through fundraisers goes immediately to what we provide the community. It goes to books, movies, newspaper and magazine collections, the Children’s Storytime program, and when we bring in outside speakers, that sort of thing.”
