Summer is here and Ohio’s public libraries are ready to make it unforgettable!

Across the state, libraries are turning up the fun with free programs, reading challenges, hands-on STEM activities, and more. It’s all about keeping young minds curious, active, and thriving all summer long!

Check out how Ohio's public libraries are making a big impact for kids and families this summer:

Ohio libraries aren't luxuries or just buildings for books | Opinion Our libraries are more than buildings filled with books. Library programs turn a few summer months into a brighter future.

This summer, Ohio’s public libraries are once again stepping up to support children and families across our communities. We’re proud to see Columbus Metropolitan Library partnering with Children's Hunger Alliance to provide free summer meals for kids and teens beginning June 1.

Many of Ohio’s public libraries serve as summer meal sites or work alongside local organizations and food banks to support meal programs in their communities. Through the USDA Summer Food Service Program, libraries across Ohio provide free summer lunches for kids under 18 at more than 175 locations statewide.

Thank you to the library staff, community partners, and volunteers making this work possible across Ohio. We're feeding minds and bodies.

Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Free Summer Meal Program Returns June 1 Columbus libraries will offer free summer meals for kids and teens at 19 locations across Central Ohio beginning June
