Southeast Library
Beginning Tuesday, October 1, Dayton Metro Library will close the Southeast Branch, located at 21 Watervliet Avenue, Dayton, 45420, from 2:30 – 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
“Unfortunately, there has been an incredible increase in teen fighting at the Southeast Branch,” explained Jeffrey Trzeciak, Executive Director, Dayton Metro Library. “After much discussion and consideration, we have decided to adjust the hours for the month of October. This closure will allow us the time we need to work with Dayton Public Schools, Dayton Police Department, and our community partners to develop better strategies and policies for managing the influx of teens and behavior issues we see each day at that location.”
New hours of operation for the Southeast Branch are:
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday:
9:30 am – 2:30 pm and 5 – 8:30 pm
Wednesday and Friday:
9:30 am – 2:30 pm and 5 – 6 pm
Saturday:
9:30 am – 6 pm
Sunday: Closed
“This was not a decision that was made lightly. As a public Library we always want to be open and available to our communities,” said Trzeciak. “However, we also have an obligation to provide a safe space. I am hopeful that this temporary change in hours will allow us the time we need to consider new approaches.”
Join The Dock October 5th for our one night anniversary celebration!! To be added to the reservation list please contact us here on Facebook or at 937-864-5011!!

Mousetrap by Agatha Christie, produced by special arrangement through Concord Theatricals, will be directed by Michael Schumacher. Early one winter afternoon, a brutal murder occurs on Culver Street in Paddington. Witnesses heard someone whistling the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice” just before the victim screamed. Later that afternoon, in the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor, Mollie and Giles Ralston prepare for the opening of their guest house, worrying about the effects of the severe snowstorm outside and their own inexperience in their new venture. Giles leaves, joking that since they know so little about their guests some might even be criminals. Alone, Mollie turns on the radio, where a description of the Culver Street murderer is being broadcast. The announcer mentions the suspect’s dark overcoat, light scarf, and felt hat just as Mollie picks up Giles’s dark coat, scarf, and hat.
Ohio Pint Day is a fundraiser that directly supports the mission of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association: to promote, preserve, diversify and unify Ohio’s craft brewing industry.
Ohio Pint Day will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024 at more than 180 participating breweries across the state. Craft beer enthusiasts are invited to purchase a limited-edition collectible pint glass available exclusively at the participating brewery taprooms.
In partnership with OCBA member breweries and Boelter Beverage, $1 from every glass will be donated to the OCBA.
They commissioned Sam Baird, art director at LemonGrenade Creative, to design the 2024 Ohio Pint Day glass. Here’s her statement about the design:
Ohio is known for several things. It’s home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the NFL, and was the birthplace of aviation. For this year’s Ohio Pint Day glass, I wanted to highlight the latter. Taking a lot of inspiration from early airplane designs, I wanted a fun, retro feeling with lots of movement. Now-a-days, we tend to focus a lot on the here and now, so it was nice to step back in time and appreciate the past achievements of our fellow Ohioans. But in short, planes are cool! I hope you enjoy the design as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Ohio On Tap brewery passport app users will also be able to collect a bonus stamp by purchasing the glass. Users will be able to submit manual stamp request selfies with their glass from Sept. 24-29 to receive the stamp.
TO CLAIM A BONUS PASSPORT STAMP:
*One (1) stamp per user. Must claim by Sunday, Sept.29, 2024.*
Glasses go on sale starting Tuesday, Sept. 24. Breweries marked with a “(sold out)” below have confirmed that glasses are no longer available at their location. We will update this list as we get new information, but will not be 100% accurate. Please check with the brewery before you visit to see if they still have glasses in stock.

The Parkinson’s Foundation will host its annual Moving Day Dayton, a Walk for Parkinson’s, on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at Fraze Pavilion. The in-person event is one of many community events taking place across the country this year. Funds raised through Moving Day will support cutting-edge research, care, and education programs to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their families.
Moving Day Dayton is not just a walk; it’s a celebration of movement and exercise, which are proven to help manage PD symptoms. At Moving Day Dayton, community members will be inspired by movement-related activities, find local and national resources for people with PD, and bring our community together in a spirit of motivation and inspiration.
Since 2011, Moving Day events across the country have raised more than $45 million, supporting the Parkinson’s Foundation’s mission to improve the lives of people with PD.
