HURON — The Huron Public Library Transitions from the Summer Reading Program

Kids’ Korner (Birth-Grade 3)
• Wednesday, Aug 7, 10 a.m. to noon — Levi Gebhard from Game, Fish and Parks will be leading an all-age Fishing 101 seminar.

The Kids’ Korner was the place to be during the Summer Reading Program! Each week, we offered incentives for reading and activities designed to keep the brain growing over the summer. The attendance exceeded our goal every week, making the program a great success! We want to express our gratitude to our sponsors and the families that participated.

Looking ahead to August, we will be busy planning for fall programs that will begin after Labor Day. If you have any ideas for an activity, club, or program that you would like to see at the library, please let us know! We would love to hear the community’s ideas!
