Tackle tough conversations and connect with your teens through a shared love of reading! Caregivers and teens will read the same title and then gather to discuss the book’s themes together.
This month, caregivers and teens will read “Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You” by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds. Through gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative, readers will reflect on the many insidious forms of racist ideas--and on ways they can identify and stamp out racist thoughts, leading to a better future. Read a full description of the book by visiting our catalog.
Our discussion will focus on Black history, popular culture, and more.
Books will be available for pick up at the North Olmsted Branch after registering. Please see Circulation to secure your copy.
Registration opens Wednesday, January 8th.

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.
This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
