Community

We are extremely grateful to all of the Library visitors who donate generously when "shopping" at the Book Nook. The Nook is very well stocked with gently used hardcover and paperback, mostly fiction books. There are also a lot of DVDs and audiobooks now available. Paperbacks make great reading for the beach!

The Friends group has been able to add to the holiday decorations that brighten up the Library's windows from December to January. We also were able to make a contribution to the Summer Learning Program, as well as continue to offer music quarterly highlighting local musicians. We have also forged a relationship with the Lake Erie Winds led by former Huron High School Band Director, Hank Lehrer, having them perform at least twice a year. CLICK HERE for dates to their next live show.

The Friends Executive Board has also decided to continue with our current officers until an annual meeting can be held, now scheduled for March 2023. Our plan is to offer something very special for that event- so stay tuned! Thank you again for supporting your Library and have a healthy and safe summer.
