Summer Reading is Coming
It is important for children and teens to keep their reading skills fresh over the summer – if you don’t use it, you lose it! Patrons may register for Summer Reading starting Sunday, May 1. The logging of reading time begins on Monday, June 6 and the program ends on Saturday, July 30. To register, visit euclidlibrary.beanstack.org. Patrons who have participated using Beanstack in prior years can use their existing logins. If login information is lost, call 216-261-5300 x 4 to retrieve your username and reset your password.

Three child winners (birth to 6th grade) will receive $150 gift cards to Hibbett Sports and a family 4-pack to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. Two teen winners (7th to 12th grade) will receive Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones and a family 4-pack to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. Make sure you participate in Summer Reading for your chance to win!
