How to Participate

Groups of five or more individuals from the same organization are welcome to register for Summer Break Baltimore together. Let us know you're interested in registering your group by using our online form starting in June, and a library staff member will reach out to coordinate. 

Please note that groups will be required to pick up their materials from the Central Library. There will be no delivery services provided to groups this year.

Interested groups must complete the interest form at least two weeks before their preferred pickup date. Group services are not guaranteed and are subject to staff and supplies availability, though we will do our best to accommodate scheduling needs. New requests will not be accepted after August 1.

Due to time and supplies constraints, school sites are not eligible to participate as groups; students and staff are encouraged to visit their local branch and register individually. 

If your group includes four or fewer participants, please register individually at your local Library location.

If you have questions about group services or need assistance, please call Programs & Outreach at 410-396-5494 or email Allie Smith at asmith@prattlibrary.org.
