Experience the Library
You’ve heard about HDL's events, but there’s so much more to experience at your library!
Would You Be My Neighbor?
This spring let's build connections and care for both the people and the community around us. As the world thaws and blooms, so too can our relationships - with neighbors, with nature, and with ourselves. We hope to plant seeds of compassion and tend to the future we want to share. HDL's spring events and experiences are geared to bring us together.
StoryWalks
We’re collaborating with Ottawa County Parks to continue providing StoryWalks this spring. Walk through the pages of a book as you make your way along a park path. StoryWalks are self-guided and available during regular park hours on the dates listed.
