And, the public library has everything you need to observe the day

When was the last time you picked up a crayon or colored pencil?

The Bluffton Public Library invites you to do just that on Thursday, Aug. 2. That’s because the library celebrates National Coloring Book Day. That takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the library.

The library staff will have a variety of coloring pages and coloring utensils available for patrons of all ages. Those will be available on the library’s main floor.
