Fines for an overdue Huron Public Library item will be waived in exchange for each donation (one unexpired or non-perishable food item per overdue item). Exclusions for some overdue items apply.
April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate, the Library is hosting a Poetry Open Mic Night. Read your own poetry or a favorite poem by another poet to share. Refreshments will be served. Registration is required if you'd like to read a poem.
