Library of Hartselle  

Welcome to the William Bradford Huie Library update, we have quite a few exciting things to share. At the top of the list is a huge thank you to Sen. Arthur Orr. Senator Orr presented a check for our library at the city council Meeting Sept. 27.  We thank him for his support of not only our library, but all the libraries in his district.  

We were recently able to welcome Sarah Laughmiller as a full-time librarian. Thanks to the support of our city council, we were able to move Sarah from a part-time position to a full-time position.  Sarah plans and implements most of our children’s programming. Starting in October, Sarah will be leading a Kid’s Book Club for third through fifth graders.   

During the months of November and December, we have added a bow making and gift-wrapping class for adults. For children, we will be having a Polar Express day during Hartselle City Schools winter break. Also, Santa will be making a special appearance on Polar Express day. For a list of our programs, please stop by the library and pick up a monthly calendar or access them on the City of Hartselle’s Facebook page or Friends of Huie Library’s Facebook page.  As always, please call the library for questions or to sign-up for painting classes. 

We hope to see you soon at the library!
