Grandview Heights Public Library: Reading club helps students avoid summer slide
The Grandview Heights Public Library s 2021 Summer Reading Club again will be a virtual experience.
Unlike the 2020 program, however, youngsters will be able to participate in some in-person outdoor activities. Last year, we had to do the reading club as an all-virtual program because we were right in the early months of the COVID pandemic, youth-services librarian Rachel Rausch said. We re so excited about being able to do some limited in-person activities because we ve missed seeing everyone so much.
The in-person activities will not be open to infants, toddlers and preschool-age children, Rausch said.

The survey is something of a compromise, not as broad as some had asked for, but importantly it is expected to include questions about sexual harassment and the handling of misconduct.
