Ready to serve looks IRL? Step out of the game and onto the catwalk in our Back to School Fashion show! Just like in the game, you’ll have a chance to show off your best outfits, strut the runway, and wow the judges with your creativity and confidence (bring your winning fit from home, or piece it together from our menagerie!)
SIGN UP HERE!
Players of all skill level are welcome to join in the game! Join us on Monday September 8th, 22nd and 29th from 1:30-3:30 PM.
Help us compete against our neighboring libraries while also filling the shelves of local food pantries. Drop off your non-perishables to the Hurley Library from September 2nd to October 18th. Thank you for helping to feed those in need!!
Once again, we are asking you to Take Action for Libraries! Tell our representatives on both sides of the aisle in Congress: Don’t Defund Libraries! Federal funds underwrite the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS supports and funds many of the crucial community services libraries provide, things like e-books, summer reading, cultural programming, technology, job and career resources, and much more. Cuts would put all of these services at risk. Speak up here: http://ala.org/advocacy/fund-libraries
Please note that you have to sign up for each individual date in this session. Click HERE to sign up for Sept 18th 10-11:00am
This story hour for ages 0-5 will introduce a love for books by using song, movement, rhythm, and rhyme. The program will help improve motor, sensory, and social skills during playtime. Stories and songs will be followed by snacks and a hands-on craft!
Hurley Residents: Help Our Library Grow!
The Hurley Library is guided by a Board of Trustees who work with the Director to provide financial oversight, set policies, and advocate for the library’s future.
Community members interested in serving on the Board must complete a petition with 10 signatures from registered Hurley voters. Petition packets are available at the library—stop in to pick one up or speak with the Director for more information.
Completed packets are due by September 16, 2025 to be included on this year’s ballot.
