If you’re not popping into your library or its website, you’re missing a lot, and all of it’s free. Workshops, genealogy research, fancy machines for making arts and crafts. Libraries have become the community centers for cities and neighborhoods throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.
That brings us to the Cuyahoga County Public Library, which recently announced its lineup of virtual talks from bestselling authors and thought leaders. It’s made possible through the Library Speakers Consortium.
