Friends of the Bluffton Public Library

The Friends of the Bluffton Public Library raise funds and provide volunteer support for special events and everyday library activities.

The Bluffton Public Library is a vital resource in our community. The Friends encourage everyone who uses the library’s services to make a donation and to share their time, energy, and ideas. Learn more

Current activities and planning include the library clock flower bed, preparing for annual elections, book sales and Apple Shed, and monthly meetings.

Love Your Library? Become a Friend of the Library

It’s easy! A donation of $5 or more makes you a Friend.

We invite you to begin or renew your support during our 2012 Membership Drive. This year we will start a fund to help install 2 sets of power assist doors at the entrance to the library. These doors will make the library more ADA friendly. Funds from our June golf outing will be dedicated to this project.

You can also volunteer or help find new ways to support our library. Join or renew today!
