NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK
April 7 – 13
Join us in celebrating the ways that libraries strengthen their communities.
Here's how you can get involved:
Visit your library
Show your support for libraries on social media –#NationaLibraryWeek#LibrariesTransform
April 10(during National Library Week) is #LibraryGivingDay, the perfect time to make a donation in support of Cuyahoga County Public Library.
The fact is, we rely on the generosity of donors to deliver unique, high-quality programming that transforms lives. We hope you'll consider making a donation on #LibraryGivingDay (or anytime).
April is National Poetry Month and we're celebrating all month long. Poets of all ages and experience levels are welcome to join our READ + WRITE: 30 Days of Poetrymailing list and receive poems, writing exercises and reading recommendations delivered daily to their inboxes during April.
We are a proud sponsor of the Cleveland International Film Festival documentary What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael – about the renegade film critic who altered the course of cinema.
Called "one of the most unique and compelling film collections in the world" by Forbes, Kanopy offers 30,000+ indie, classic, foreign language and popular titles for free with your library card.
In conjunction with Autism Awareness Month we're highlighting our sensory and adapted programs, related books and films, and our super fun toy lending service, which includes a wide variety of adapted toys.
Our Food4Fines food drive ends March 31. Don't miss this chance to reduce or erase your library fines by donating Super Six food items to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank's Harvest for Hungercampaign. Cash donations to Harvest for Hunger will also be accepted.
