Beginning Monday, June 11, storytime for preschoolers ages 3-5 will be held at Bluffton Public Library on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. and Tuesdays at 10 a.m.
Themes this summer are based on the early literacy collaborative summer reading program, "Dream Big - Read!" Each Storytime session is approximately 35-40 minutes in length and includes stories, songs, finger plays and other related activities. Parents or caregivers must register their child at the library's front desk.
Storytime is a free, fun way to help children develop their imagination and early literacy skills.
The Bluffton Lady Pirates have had a busy first two weeks of the softball season. The Pirates swatted down their first three opponents, McComb, Carey, and USV before stumbling to Ottawa Glandorf 8-1 and Perry in a double header 11-8 and 10-3.
The Pirates traveled to Spencerville last Thursday for the NWC season opener against the Bearcats and came away with an easy 10-2 win.
Bluffton residents may start preparing for spring cleaning. The village will have dumpsters at the Spring Street recycling center available from May 18 to 29, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.
"This will provide residents with 10 days including two weekend to take items to the center," Mehaffie told Bluffton council members on Monday. Household hazardous waste materials are not permitted to be disposed of during this period.
