Upcoming programs at Bay Village Branch Library

The Bay Village branch library's Book Buddies program is starting up again on July 12. This three-week program partners children in grades 1-3 with a Big Buddy in grades 5-12. During the hourlong session, the buddies will read to each other and play reading games. It's a great way for children to stay on top of their reading during the summer break. Please visit cuyahogalibrary.org or stop by one of the information desks to register your child.
