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. 

Naturalist Beth Theisen of Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Parks will present The Healing Power of Nature on June 12 at 6 p.m. This program is intended for adults, and registration is required by June 7. (Please call or stop by the library to register.) Scientists are finding that a connection to the natural world is crucial for our health and well-being; join Theisen as she discusses this "Healing Power of Nature”.
