Bug Free Zone at the Library


Everything is underway for What's Cooking @ the Amherst Public Library, our 2008 summer reading program for ages 4 through 104. Many people calling or checking on our website are surprised to find out we're not participating in the State Library of Ohio's Summer Reading Program. As I tell all the kids, go to other libraries, get a card, but nothing beats Amherst Public Library for one of the best summer programs around.

The state seems to be obsessed with bugs, based on the giant 200 page manual they send out, and the countless themes directed at crawling creatures, such as "Trails to Tales" and now this year's theme "Catch the Reading Bug".

This year we're cooking up all kinds of fun. Remember to read a balanced diet including selections from mysteries, non-fiction, poetry, and magazines.

Online registration is available now through our website. Check out our upcoming programming by viewing our summer calendar.
