Upcoming programs at Bay Village Branch Library

As we head into the Labor Day weekend, don't forget to stop by the Bay Village Branch Library to pick up those books, DVDs, or audio materials you may need over the long weekend. Beginning Saturday, Aug. 30, we will be closed for the holiday. Our regular hours will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Of course, you can still access items in our digital collection during this time.

After a hiatus in August, our storytimes start back up in September. We also have some great after-school programs coming up. Our new Teen Zone will offer activities, games, art and more. See the listings below for dates and times.

We're excited to host professional skateboarder Doug Brown on Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 3:30 p.m. He will join us to share tips and tricks of the board – as well as give advice on how to enjoy life and make the most of it. You won't want to miss this event!
