Unpredictable winter weather is a fact of life in Huron County. When conditions worsen and the safety of our visitors and staff becomes a concern, Huron County Library may need to close or adjust hours at any of our 12 locations.
When a branch needs to close due to weather, we will do our best to notify the public as quickly as possible.
Call ahead
During stormy or rapidly changing weather, please contact your local branch before heading out.
For the latest updates, you can also:
-
Visit our website. Closure notices will appear on the homepage and in our online catalogue.
-
Check our social media. We will share updates on the Huron County Library’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
We understand that weather-related closures can be inconvenient but please know that these decisions are made for the safety of our community and staff.
Weather impacts on van deliveries
Road closures and unsafe road conditions have an impact on van deliveries between branches. This may delay delivery of your library holds to your local branch. You will receive notifications when your books are ready to be picked up.
Library from home
Even if branches remain open and you don’t feel comfortable venturing out, you can safely enjoy our online resources from home! Access audiobooks, movies, online learning, and so much more!
