The health and safety of our customers and staff at the Bluffton Public Library is a top priority, therefore the library has made the difficult decision to close from March 17, 2020 through at least April 6.
We ask that all patrons with library materials currently checked out keep the items at home rather than return them.
Per the Governor, Polished and Boutique 415 will be closed effective at the end of business on March 18.
"Please continue to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for any updates and an occasional video. We hope to be able to open our doors April 1.(no joke)," said Joan Frederick and her staff.
Here's a rare photograph of a Beaverdam business at the turn of an earlier century.
It is a tile factory. Although the exact location is not known, the business operate in the early 1900s. Will Triplettt, pioneer Bluffton photographer took the photo. It was originally on an 8.5 by 11 glass negative.
Justin andAmy Musil: "It's a tremendous honor to serve you and we look forward to doing so again real soon."

We have spent countless hours playing every scenario possible to make things work, but being able to provide our employees (our friends/family) with what they need to make ends meet just isn't possible at this time. It has been extremely difficult the last couple of days as we prepare our locations for this temporary shutdown.
The thought of not being able to provide the personal service to our patrons, truthfully our friends and family that we have grown to know and love over the years, is a tough pill to swallow.
