Starting May 6, 2024, several branches of the Huron County Library will have new operating hours.
In 2023, branch hours were reviewed using feedback from the public and staff, along with library circulation statistics. As a result, the library is adjusting hours at certain branches to better align with community needs, to provide increased evening availability, and to ensure adequate staffing levels.
Below are the changes being made at the following branches (* shows hours that are changing):
