By now, you’ve noticed our signs about town.  Each one exclaims, “Vote for your library,” and with this article, we’re here to explain why. 
 
Bluffton Public Library currently has a 1-mil tax levy in place, which supports everyday operations.  This came at a time when our library so desperately needed the support. 

Here's a certain sign of the coming of spring. Misha Groman, Bluffton High School senior, practices his tennis serves in the second day of tennis practice at the Howe Tennis Courts. As a reminder of how different this season is from 2015, click here for a photo of Mike Hilty shoveling snow in anticipation of last year's opening practice.
