Kids ages 5-8, come build your reading skills by reading to one of our summer reading volunteers. Every child will receive a prize and a free book for reading!

Are you a wizard, fighter, or a rogue looking for a group? Do you have a dungeon or a dragon looking for adventures? Then come to the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons!

So much more than books! Join us as a librarian introduces little ones to the library and shows parents/caregivers how to create excitement about reading. Connect with others while enjoying rhymes, songs, books, and a craft.

Children ages 1-18 are invited to enjoy a meal from 12-2 p.m. at Ralph Ellison Library.

Meals are provided by Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma's Summer Feeding Program.

The OKC Mobile Market offers fresh produce to residents of Oklahoma County at no cost. We know that access to fresh fruit and vegetables is a barrier for many folks in the community, not only due to food deserts, but also the rising cost of food.

Help decorate the Ralph Ellison Library this summer by creating a special Adventure Begins at the Library window mural. All supplies will be provided! 

This program is for kids. 

Join us every Friday for bingo! This family friendly event will feature trivia, jokes, and facts on the theme of the week!
