Spredges: decorative book edges are the latest trend. Come into the library and find your next book, not by the title, but by its colorful book edge. Stay tuned for a Spredges: decorative book edges program in April.

MEDIA RELEASE__For over forty years, the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District has helped local pond owners stock their ponds affordably, and we are thrilled to carry on this tradition.  

Adding fish to your pond sparks a thriving food chain among plants, fish, and all the creatures that call it home. Healthy fish are the secret to a balanced ecosystem. They not only keep pesky insects in check but also feast on extra nutrients from aquatic plants, helping your water stay clear and vibrant. 

The Annual Garage Sale will take place March 26, 27 and 28 at the Bluffton Senior Center. A special half-price sale will be offered Monday, March 30 in the morning. 

In preparation for the sale, the Senior Center will be closed Wednesday, March 25. Organizers are seeking volunteers to help set up, tear down and work the sale. Those looking to volunteer should sign-up in the office or call in, 419-358-8971.

Donations for the sale are being accepted through Friday, March 20. 

Playgroup is held most Fridays at 10 a.m. Make a playdate and the library will provide the space and toys.
