This summer has looked a lot different than other summers at Bluffton Public Library.
However, COVID-19 hasn’t ended the library’s commitment to programs and events that support education, access to resources, community, and entertainment.
The library staff partnered with many local Summer Program sponsors to provide these events digitally.
If you have missed a digital library event of interest to you, the library has curated a collection of recordings of these events on its website by clicking here.
Or, you may browse and click the links for some of those programs below. This list will continue growing as the library continues to offer Summer Program digital events until the end of the program.
