Free summer learning kicks off at Grand Rapids libraries
The Grand Rapids Public Library launches free educational programs for kids and teens across city branches starting in June.
Starting in June, Grand Rapids Public Library branches will host free summer programs for youth. These accessible, no-cost sessions offer enriching activities to keep kids and teens engaged during break. Families can expect a mix of learning and fun at locations across the city.
School’s out, but the library is just getting started. Starting in June, the Grand Rapids Public Library will roll out a full slate of free educational summer programs for kids and teens at branches across the city. It’s a budget-friendly way to keep young minds curious while they’re out of the classroom.
The library hasn’t released a full schedule yet, but past summers have included everything from hands-on science experiments to book clubs and creative arts workshops. By spreading the fun across multiple locations—like the Main Library downtown, and neighborhood branches in Ottawa Hills and West Side—GRPL makes it easy for families to join in, no matter where they live.

No registration details are available just yet, but historically many of these programs are open to all ages with just a library card (or help signing up for one on the spot). Keep an eye on the GRPL website or stop by your local branch for a schedule once June hits. It’s summer learning without the tuition bill.
