Berea Branch

Large Meeting Room (100)

Celebrate summertime by honing your kite building skills and learning kite flying tips and tricks.

This class will explain the in, outs, up and down of kite flying and the history of kiting for the past 2000 years! Participants will learn the basics of how to build a kite and explore some troubleshooting solutions for kites that don’t fly.  

The Ohio Society for the Elevation of Kites was founded in 1977 by a group of kite enthusiasts.  Our main purpose is to encourage new kite flyers, share ideas, knowledge, experience, building and flying tips, and to have fun.

About the branch

Opened in 1924, the Berea Branch was the third branch to join the Cuyahoga County Public Library system. It was initially housed in City Hall from 1924-1939 and then a small storefront in 1957 before moving to a standalone building. The branch is located adjacent to beautiful Coe Lake Park.
