Borrow Snowshoes
With all of this freshly fallen snow, snowshoes are a perfect way to explore the many amazing trails found throughout the County. Give this fun winter activity a try by borrowing a pair of snowshoes from the Huron County Library!
Snowshoes are available to borrow for one week and come in children and adult sizes. Place a hold through our online catalogue:
Provincial Park Passes
Ontario Parks is providing free day-use permits for Huron County Library patrons to explore their network of provincial parks through to the end of 2021!
Visit our online catalogue or contact your local branch to place a hold on a permit that will give you day-use access to any provincial park, including those closest to home, Point Farms and Pinery Provincial Parks. Permits can be borrowed for one week and cannot be renewed – patrons will be charged $50 and have their accounts blocked for lost permits. The permit entitles one vehicle (excluding buses) and its occupants to enter any provincial park subject to park regulations.
Please be sure to visit the Ontario Parks website (www.ontarioparks.com) for the most up-to-date information about park locations, hours of operation, and closures before venturing out.

Virtual Magic Show
Be amazed and amused by Magician Peter Mennie!
Enjoy a 30-minute family friendly show that includes incredible magic, music and mayhem with lots of laughs thrown in! Since the humour in the show is as fun as the magic, does this make the performance a ‘comical magic show’ or a ‘magical comedy show?’ We’ll let you decide, but either way, it will be the funniest magic show you will see all year!
Video will be available from February 12-20 on Facebook with Ontario’s West Coast and Huron County Library.

Online Story Time
Join Danny Ramadan on Saturday, February 20 at 1:00 pm for a virtual reading of Salma the Syrian Chef, following by a Q&A!
Between English classes, job interviews and missing their home in Syria, Salma’s mama hasn’t smiled much lately. A homemade Syrian meal might cheer her up…but Salma doesn’t know the recipe, or what to call the vegetables in English, or where to find the right spices! Luckily, the staff and other newcomers in her Welcome Home have all kinds of skills to share. But even with their help, can Salma cook the Shami Foul before Mama gets home?
