Fun for all ages continues into July at the Huron Public Library with the Summer Reading Program!

• On Thursday, July 6 at 3 p.m., Charlie William will be at the library with his program “The Adventures of Mighty Mouth!”

Hear noisy tales, see comical cartoons, and learn to read with onomatopoeia! Cars ZOOM. Bears GROWL. Toilets FLUSH.

Good clean, family-friendly, comedy for all ages. Do your kids love making noise? Charlie uses amazing, realistic vocal imitations during his literacy programs, that will inspire them to become roaring readers!

• On Thursday, July 13 at 8 p.m., Phil Baker performs in Campbell Park! Known for his signature style, red guitar, catchy tunes, and heartfelt lyrics, Phil Baker writes songs that help children learn something about the world around them. Through his music, he encourages children to live their lives in a carefree and imaginative way.
