9. FROM THE HURON PUBLIC LIBRARY:
TEENtober is a nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October in honor of library teens and teen programs! At the Huron Public Library, teens can check out a new activity each week after school in the YA area. Stop by this week for some Wii Game Play to play some classic games.
Like writing? Write your part of the story for our Library collection with Huron Stories: Community Journals! Each journal has a special topic– including Pet Stories, Sketches, and even Something Scary. Read what others wrote, add your own entry, and then check out another one. Once a journal is full, it will be placed on our shelves for others to enjoy for years to come! All ages are welcome to participate. Find the display in the main lobby.
If you're looking for a more fast-paced classic game, join fellow players for Euchre Night on Wednesday, October 27 starting at 6:30 pm.
Make a plan to visit the Library for more Halloween fun on Friday, October 29 for our Transylvania Friday Movie Marathon featuring all three Transylvania movies. The Library will be open from 9:30 am - 5 pm today and the movies will play on repeat ALL DAY LONG!
