Feeling the urge to decorate some holiday cookies? Visit the Huron Public Library on Monday, December 16 any time between 4 - 7 pm for this winter's Make & Take. We provide the cookies, frosting, sprinkles, and more. All ages are welcome.
What's that? You want more holiday cheer? On Monday, December 23, the Library will be hosting an ELF movie marathon. Come by to get warm and watch the movie, and enjoy some of Buddy the Elf’s favorites from the four major food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. The movie will be playing all day!
Perhaps you'd like a break from holiday reality? In that case, join our NEW monthly Dungeons & Dragons Club. Whether you're a seasoned player or even if you've never played before, this club gives you the chance to experience a fantasy world where your imagination is the only limit. The first meeting is during winter break on Monday, December 30 from 4 - 7 pm. Visit the Teen Services section of the Library's website to register today!
And remember: The Library is open this holiday season, but we will be closed for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.
