2026 Youth Summer – Endangered Wolf Center with Lucky the Maned Wolf

At the University City Public Library, service to children and young adults has a high priority. The youth services department is staffed with professional librarians and paraprofessionals trained to work with young people. A strong book collection is paired with an active series of storytimes; special programs; summer reading clubs and activities; and outreach to public, private and pre-schools in University City. Taking as their theme “Children who read, succeed,” our youth services department strives to make a difference in the lives of our youngest citizens. In addition to the book collection, UCPL’s youth services staff also prides itself on offering plenty of technology-based programming, including events with robotics, online storytimes, and other options to highlight science, technology, and engineering literacy.
