Join Hackley Library staff at the Muskegon South Pierhead Lighthouse (Pere Marquette Beach) to catch some sun and fresh air during Lighthouse Story Time!
We’ll read stories, sing songs, and watch the boats out on the lake. Soft mats are provided for seating.
Story Time is free.

Come for a special Story Time at Hackley Library with this delightful pup, Piper!
While we enjoy dog-themed stories, we’ll get to pet and interact with this friendly pooch. ~
Piper even has special dice that she will roll to help us select which books we read! 🙂

Piper Lou is a Facility Dog serving the students at Marquette Elementary School in Muskegon Public Schools!
Piper, 1½-year-old Goldendoodle, spends each school day visiting classrooms, supporting students in reading and math, while also providing comfort and emotional support to both students and staff.
Piper works alongside her handler, Marquette Principal Jennifer Halverson. She loves greeting the students and cuddling when they need a pick-me-up!
