The Young Adult Services staff in all branch libraries concentrates on the special library needs of teenagers. Young Adult librarians take great care in helping children make the transition to adulthood by providing teens with materials in a variety of formats, information on a variety of subjects and an atmosphere to make teenagers feel comfortable in a library setting. Connect to The Inside Page for a listing and schedule of library events and programs. Library programs, collections and services are planned specifically to meet the interests and needs of this age group. Young adults who visit Cuyahoga County Public Library branches during the summer months may participate in the Summer Reading Program.
Participants can read a variety of library materials, share reviews with their peers and win prizes.
School Visits Children's Services and Young Adult Services librarians visit the schools in the communities served by their branch libraries in the fall when classes begin and again in the spring before summer vacation begins. These visits introduce students to library staff and help them to become more familiar with the programs and services available through their local libraries. Cuyahoga County Public Library's Children's and Young Adult librarians work closely with area schools to supplement the school curriculum with library materials. School classes often tour the local branch to become familiar with the collections and services available. Homeschooling Cuyahoga County Public Library welcomes homeschool families.
