The Bluffton Board of Education held its monthly meeting at 5:00 p.m. on June 30. The meeting agenda is HERE.

During the visitors portion of the meeting, Jessica Hermiller, Director of Bluffton Public Library, shared her disappointment with the loss of the Middle School Library. This summer, the space is being repurposed as a technology center. Ms. Hermiller shared that the Bluffton Public Library has historically supplemented the Middle School Library and now without a library in the Middle School, it may shift student needs to the Bluffton Public Library. 

The Bluffton Public Library will host the following events and activities for July 8-12. For further details and dates, visit www.blufftonpubliclibrary.org/library-events.

The Bluffton Senior Center is coordinating RTA bus trips designed to help people get familiar with riding the RTA bus that now comes to Bluffton. It is also a nice little trip out of town for those with cabin fever. We ride the regular bus route so please note that the bus does not wait on anyone. Everyone needs to be at the stop before the bus arrives. The RTA bus does not give change so bring $1 bills to pay for your fare. Sign-up sheets are in the trip book.
