Medina County District Library
Library Live Newsletter
September, October, November 2016
Medina County District Library is proud to present One Book,
One Community in September 2016. We chose the novel Station Eleven
by Emily St. John Mandel because it is a suspenseful, compelling novel
about resilience, hope, art and music. It speaks to our basic human
desire to belong to a community. This book is special because it asks
difficult questions but is still a highly entertaining story.

Summer Reading Game =
Record Breaking Participation
MCDL leads the charge in encouraging kids to read
and has the numbers to back it up. Debbie Socha,
Brunswick Library Children’s Department Supervisor
says, “In the first four weeks of summer we had
almost twice as many children playing the Game
as we did last year!” In 2016 Brunswick City
Schools partnered with MCDL for Summer Reading,
making libraries THE place for reading all summer long. 2015 was
a record-breaking year until 2016 smashed those records.

The Summer Reading theme, Make, Create, Discover, Learn, focuses
on STEM and STEAM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Arts and
Math). STEM events are always well attended, with waiting lists
to get in and requests for additional events from parents and
educators. “It is important students are exposed to creative
learning in the sciences outside of school and MCDL is happy
to provide that,” says Socha.
Kid City & Friends Little Free Library
Kid City, a Safety Town inspired play
park, opened in May across the
street from Brunswick Library. The
park features kid sized roadways
and local businesses. Thanks to the
Friends of MCDL, there is a library
in Kid City, complete with a Little
Free Library, where families may take
a children’s book of their choice.
The project is a partnership featuring the art students of
Willetts Middle School, the trades classes of the Medina County
Career Center and Brunswick City, Parks and Schools.
StoryWalk® Fall Selection
StoryWalk® is a partnership between MCDL
and Medina County Park District at Carolyn
Ludwig Mugrage Park, 4985 Windfall Road,
Medina. It promotes literacy, physical activity
and spending time together as a family.
Each season brings a new story. Watch for
