The Icon spotted this plate in the Bluffton University student parking lot on Bentley Road. It's on a blue Toyota Corolla with lots of interesting bumper stickers. "Read Banned Books," as an example.
The library is throwing a party and the dress code is polka-dots.

Elaine Wehri brings her accordion to the Bluffton Public LIbrary, 154 S. Main St., on the first day of spring at 6 p.m., Monday, March 20. The party is in the lower level of the library.
