The Huron Public Library is ringing in 2018 with lots of activities. For the third year, the library is offering a reading challenge to the public for all ages. This year’s theme is “reading bingo.”
On a quarterly basis, patrons will receive a bingo card with reading challenges on the card. When you have completed a line, you win a prize. To assist busy people, there will be a special card for those who do not always have time to read. Stop by the library for more information.
