Something “New” is starting at the Huron County Community Library in November. Our Library Staff really misses our Communities so we are going “Out and About” to bring you a unique behind the scenes look at a variety of community people and places. This month join us on Facebook Live and YouTube and enjoy the “Out and About” locations of our Willard and Greenwich locations.
On Thursday, November 5 at 6 p.m. our first “Out and About” adventure at our Willard location with Miss Char will take us to Whispering Woods Farm. Join her and Sue Garner and meet Miley the Goat. Then take a walk with Larry the Cat. This farm adventure is sure to leave you laughing.
At our Greenwich location Miss Jenny has two “Out and Abouts” planned. On Tuesday, November 3 at 4 p.m. join Miss Jenny for a look behind the scenes with Greenwich Fire, Police, and EMS as she drops off the amazing Thank You cards you all made. And then, who doesn’t love apples? Join Miss Jenny again on Friday, November 6 at 11 a.m. for a tour of a real apple orchard.

The Huron County Community Library has planned a special “GoToMeeting” for Monday, Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m. The topic will be: “Knowing Your Rights – Energy Disconnection & Reconnection”. Are your electric and natural gas bills difficult to pay? Do you know someone who is struggling to maintain service or get reconnected? You are not alone. Ohioans facing disconnection have rights and responsibilities that they are often unaware of. There may also be payment assistance options available to avoid disconnection. The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel will explain what you need to know to maintain utility service and how to avoid energy disconnection scams.
