February is a good month to find a cozy spot to relax and read. The Huron County Community Library offers a variety of opportunities for our patrons of all ages to enjoy a good book.
Find your perfect match at our Wakeman and Willard locations. Take one of our Blind Dates out for a try throughout the whole month and be entered in our prize drawings. We have hidden the covers and given only a brief book description. Take this chance to discover a “NEW” read.
