The Toledo Zoo came to the Bluffton Public Library on Monday.

Youth attending the program met sea urchins, crabs, sea stars, a hedgehog, a Silkie Chicken rooster, and a Virgin Islands tree boa snake.

"The Bluffton community definitely loves to learn about animals, and it showed yesterday because we had over 150 attendees."

Attached are some photos from the Bluffton Public Library Fun Day on June 4.  It was a huge success.

Every Summer Program kick off event brings several hundred, and we think this year was the largest crowd we've seen for a Kick Off.

Among popular events were the involvement for the Touch-a-Truck and llamas as­­ we had Hard Rock Llama Co., a Bluffton Exempted School District school bus and Bobcat, the Bluffton EMS, fire truck, police vehicles, and someone even brought a motorcycle.
