SUMMARY:Student Success Centers – Reconnect
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library’s new program\, Student Success Centers – Reconnect\, is offered every Tuesday and Thursday\, 3-6 pm\, through May 21\, in the Main Library’s Tech Lab A. \n  \nReconnect offers support to youth ages 16-21 working toward a GED or high school diploma. Extra help with reading\, writing\, and math is available\, along with life skills coaching\, opportunities to build friendships\, and connecting with mentors. \n  \nReconnect grew out of a revamp of DML’s Homework Help Centers\, now known as Student Success Centers\, located within seven Branches. “We expanded to an eighth Center at the Main Library that focuses on serving an overlooked demographic of young people called ‘opportunity youth\,’” explains Allison Knight\, DML’s Youth Services and Programming Director. “Opportunity youth are young enough to be served by public schools but disengaged from formal school or work.” \n  \nSinclair’s Fast Forward Re-Engagement Center has been an advocate for the gap in community services to opportunity youth. After speaking with their Project Director and researching the need\, DML staff used existing plans for the Student Success Centers expansion to address it. \n  \nRenaming the Student Success Centers allows DML to designate Student Success Centers – K12 for its mainstream students and Student Success Centers – Reconnect for opportunity youth. With the noted distinction between the Centers and Reconnect\, DML can train staff accordingly and specialize the services offered at each location. \n  \nRegistration is not required for Reconnect. Patrons may drop in any time during the posted hours. For more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.

SUMMARY:Student Success Centers – Reconnect
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library’s new program\, Student Success Centers – Reconnect\, is offered every Tuesday and Thursday\, 3-6 pm\, through May 21\, in the Main Library’s Tech Lab A. \n  \nReconnect offers support to youth ages 16-21 working toward a GED or high school diploma. Extra help with reading\, writing\, and math is available\, along with life skills coaching\, opportunities to build friendships\, and connecting with mentors. \n  \nReconnect grew out of a revamp of DML’s Homework Help Centers\, now known as Student Success Centers\, located within seven Branches. “We expanded to an eighth Center at the Main Library that focuses on serving an overlooked demographic of young people called ‘opportunity youth\,’” explains Allison Knight\, DML’s Youth Services and Programming Director. “Opportunity youth are young enough to be served by public schools but disengaged from formal school or work.” \n  \nSinclair’s Fast Forward Re-Engagement Center has been an advocate for the gap in community services to opportunity youth. After speaking with their Project Director and researching the need\, DML staff used existing plans for the Student Success Centers expansion to address it. \n  \nRenaming the Student Success Centers allows DML to designate Student Success Centers – K12 for its mainstream students and Student Success Centers – Reconnect for opportunity youth. With the noted distinction between the Centers and Reconnect\, DML can train staff accordingly and specialize the services offered at each location. \n  \nRegistration is not required for Reconnect. Patrons may drop in any time during the posted hours. For more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.

DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library’s newest art exhibit\, Becoming: 70 Years of Growth\, Expression\, and Possibility\, will be on display Sunday\, March 1 – Tuesday\, March 31\, in the Main Library’s The 2nd Floor Gallery. \nBecoming celebrates the artists of United Rehabilitation Services (URS) and the ways creativity serves as a powerful form of communication\, identity\, and connection. \nFor 70 years\, URS has supported children and adults with developmental and acquired disabilities as they grow\, explore independence\, and express who they are. Their artwork reflects a journey of becoming\, not as a fixed destination but an ongoing process shaped by experience\, curiosity\, collaboration\, and self-expression. \nThe exhibit features a wide range of abilities\, styles\, and mediums. Some pieces were created individually\, while others were created collaboratively\, emphasizing the importance of community\, shared effort\, and collective voice. The scale of the work is intentionally varied\, ranging from small\, intimate pieces to large-format installations\, mirroring the diversity of expression within the disability community. \nPresented during Disabilities Awareness Month\, Becoming invites viewers to look beyond labels and assumptions to see creativity\, agency\, and possibility. Each piece tells a story\, not of limitation\, but of growth\, imagination\, and presence. \nFor more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org/Exhibits or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.

SUMMARY:Becoming: 70 Years of Growth\, Expression\, and Possibility
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library’s newest art exhibit\, Becoming: 70 Years of Growth\, Expression\, and Possibility\, will be on display Sunday\, March 1 – Tuesday\, March 31\, in the Main Library’s The 2nd Floor Gallery. \nBecoming celebrates the artists of United Rehabilitation Services (URS) and the ways creativity serves as a powerful form of communication\, identity\, and connection. \nFor 70 years\, URS has supported children and adults with developmental and acquired disabilities as they grow\, explore independence\, and express who they are. Their artwork reflects a journey of becoming\, not as a fixed destination but an ongoing process shaped by experience\, curiosity\, collaboration\, and self-expression. \nThe exhibit features a wide range of abilities\, styles\, and mediums. Some pieces were created individually\, while others were created collaboratively\, emphasizing the importance of community\, shared effort\, and collective voice. The scale of the work is intentionally varied\, ranging from small\, intimate pieces to large-format installations\, mirroring the diversity of expression within the disability community. \nPresented during Disabilities Awareness Month\, Becoming invites viewers to look beyond labels and assumptions to see creativity\, agency\, and possibility. Each piece tells a story\, not of limitation\, but of growth\, imagination\, and presence. \nFor more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org/Exhibits or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
