Family Playroom in Cleveland Heights

Our playroom in the main branch of the Cleveland Heights library is open for scheduled play sessions. Each 2-hour session will have a limited number of spots for families. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Please notify us if you need to cancel your registration, so we can open a spot for another family.

Family Connections playrooms are for families with children birth to 6 and are designed to support early childhood development, build community, and make connections through interactive adult-child play. Each playroom is an imaginative, hands-on, space for young children and their caregivers. Our playrooms feature carefully chosen play materials that stimulate children’s natural curiosity to discover and explore.

Family Playroom sessions are also available at our playroom in the Shaker Heights Main Library. To visit that playroom, please register at:

“The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly endorses the use of safe and effective infection control measures to protect children and adolescents. COVID-19 vaccination, ventilation, physical distancing, testing and use of a well-fitting and comfortable face mask or respirator are all part of a comprehensive strategy to mitigate risk and help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Masks remain a simple but powerful tool to help prevent the spread of Covid 19.

“The AAP strongly recommends that all individuals over the age of 6 months receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Additional layered prevention strategies may also be important depending on individual and community level risk…”
