Westlake Porter Public Library and Westlake City Schools are partnering to present an interactive summer learning series for students entering Grades1-6. Called “Summer Brain Games,” the series will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 11 through August 22, excluding breaks for the week of July 4 and Science Week (August 4-10).

All sessions will be held at the library and prepared and run by staff from the Westlake City Schools with the help of volunteers. There will be a choice of four activity stations, including Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies. Activities and Workshops will include content appropriate for each grade. Activities will change each week, but will be the same on the Tuesday and Thursday of the same week. Four Workshops will also be offered: Reading Buddies, Readers’ Theater, Brown Bag Theater and Young Authors.

For more information on the workshops please contact Nick Miller at MillerNi [at] wlake.org.

Through a grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, Westlake Porter Public Library will be bringing you special programming and resources on the Civil War. From March through September, keep an eye out for special programs and reading groups on topics centered on the war between the states. Visit our Civil War Reading Group page for more details.
