Grant promotes reading in the Heights

Heights Libraries and the CH-UH schools are the proud recipients of a Choose to Read Ohio grant. Choose to Read Ohio is a project designed to promote reading across the state to all ages.

Together, the library and the schools chose two books, Cleveland Heights author, Dan Chaon’s You Remind Me of Me and Louise Borden’s The Journey That Saved Curious George: the True Wartime Escape of Margaret and H.A. Rey. They are inviting everyone to read one, or both, of these books and participate in a series of programs designed to engage the entire community. 

Here’s what the library has planned:

March 25           You Remind Me of Me Book Discussion, 7 p.m. (Lee Road Library)
April 26             You Remind Me of Me Book Discussion, 7 p.m. (Lee Road Library)
May 2               Bike Ride with Curious George (Coventry Village Library, sponsored by the City of Cleveland Heights)
May 4               Author visit by Louise Borden (Lee Road Library)
