Bluffton Public Library's summer reading program kick off is Monday, June 4.
The kick off begins at noon with an indoor picnic. Bring your own brown bag lunch.
At 12:30 p.m. in the library's rear parking lot is a Touch-a-Truck (and llamas), featuring a variety of local vehicles and machines to explore and view.
The library thanks Bluffton Fire and Police Departments, Hard Rock Llama Co., and several others who will provide the fun for the Touch-a-Truck hour.
At 1 p.m., the Wild Steelions youth steel drum band will perform outside the library.
Science, sports, experiencing new cultures, super heroes, time travel and the Olympics are all part of Bluffton Family Recreation’s summer camp open to youths ages 5 to 12.
Registration for summer is now underway. Youth may participate the entire summer or may pick and choose weeks, depending upon the number of campers signed up each week.
The camp begins Tuesday, May 29, and continues weekdays through Aug. 25, according to Daniel Tinch, BFR executive director. No camp takes place on Memorial Day or July 4th.
Another Bluffton restaurant is in renovation mode this spring. Taco Bell, 113 Commerce Lane, is involved in a major facelift. The Bluffton McDonald's next door is also involved in a major renovation. Arby's restaurant had a renovation last year.

We all have that favorite restaurant……that one place we just can’t resist. Our go- to place for special occasions. If you have committed to a healthier lifestyle, does that mean you have to kiss that restaurant good-bye? Not necessarily …….
However, adopting a healthy lifestyle does mean holding yourself accountable.
