Experience the Library

You’ve heard about HDL's events, but there’s so much more to experience at your library!

Explore the Shore

"Explore the Shore" invites you to step beyond the familiar. Find the courage to stretch your boundaries - both geographical and personal - and dip your toe into something new. Through curiosity, reading, and shared experience, explore the edges of your world and discover what lies just beyond.

StoryWalks

We’re collaborating with the Ottawa County Parks and the Ottawa County Department of Public Health to continue providing StoryWalks this summer! 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.
* This StoryWalk is presented in collaboration with the Ottawa County Department of Public Health's 5-2-1-0 Let's Go! initiative!

Community Action House at HDL

Meet with Community Action House staff members at the library!

The Outreach team provides outbound support, counsel, and partnership to assist people and families living in places not meant for human habitation. We work to connect to resources, build relationships, all with a “whatever-it-takes” approach to increase access to safe housing in Ottawa County.

The Outreach team holds hours at Herrick District Library to provide holistic case management and resource navigation for individuals in need at the library.

Talk to us for professional guidance in an environment of respect - no strings attached.
