Preschool, K-5, and Middle School
We are celebrating the University Heights branch renovation with this year’s summer reading theme, “Dream, Build, Share!” Children of all ages, birth through middle school, can sign up by visiting any library branch. Every child who signs up will get to choose a book to keep!
Our program for preschoolers includes activities for your little readers to earn a raffle ticket for special prizes, including a membership to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
Children grades K–8 can complete their own log and activity sheet to receive raffle tickets. The reading log takes 30 days to complete and children can complete more than one to earn movie, book, gamer, or food-themed prizes. Children can also receive additional raffle tickets by completing special activities, such as signing up for the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program, performing an act of kindness, and attending summer reading events at any branch.
Finally, Fun Packs will be available for all ages to pick up this summer at any branch, while supplies last. Click here for Summer Reading programs for kids!
