Wood CLEVELAND PUBLICLIBRARY I2- 1869-1994 y ~ This is the second published account of the Cleveland Public Library. The first, Open Shelves and Open Minds, was a centennial history written by the late C. H. "Red" Cramer, a professor of history at Case Western Reserve University. This book takes up where Professor Cramer's left off, and in that sense the two books are companion pieces. But this book was conceived as a stand-alone project. While the narrative covers roughly the last twenty-five years, the story of the first hundred years is told through historic photographs and their captions. The Cleveland Public Library gratefully acknowledges the people, inside and outside the Library, who participated in the making of this book. They are Fran Clark, Ann Olszewski, and Helen Azusenis of the Library staff, Rory O'Connor of Whelan Communications Inc. , Cleveland, Don Borger of Design Associates, Cleveland, and, of course, the author.

DESCRIPTORS *Career Exploration; Experiential Learning; High Schools; Journalism; Layout (Publications); Minority Groups; *Newspapers; Pilot Projects; Printing; Program Effectiveness; Program Evaluation; *Publishing Industry; School Business Relationship; Urban Education; Vocational Fc..cation; Work Experience; Workshops IDENTIFIERS Cleveland Public Schools OH ABSTRACT The Plain Dealer High School Newspaper Workshop was a pilot program created to introduce minority high school students (although not limited to minority students) to career opportunities in the newspaper business. Forty-four students from the Cleveland Public Schools' John F. Kennedy and West Technical High School participated in the 9-week program. The workshop classes at the Plain Dealer Headquarters provided students an opportunity to learn about the business side of the newspaper industry while allowing them to create and produce their own newspaper. Staff members from the Plain Dealer volunteered their services as workshop instructors and acted as facilitators for students to learn by "doing"--having hands-on experiences, interacting in large/small groups, providing peer assistance, and becoming involved in cooperative learning. Evaluation results indicated 100 percent of the students understood the presenters; 97 percent thought the handout materials were helpful, believed the workshop was a good learning experience, and would recommend that the program be continued; 94 percent learned something about cost accounting, editorial, production, and circulation; 84 percent enjoyed producing the newspaper; and 66 percent might seriously consider working in the newspaper industry.

  • 2018 Annual Report (PDF)
    THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE 2018 Report to the Community THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE HAS LONG STOOD AS SYMBOL FOR CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY’S VISION. The design appears in a delicately leaded insert in the glass over the Main Library entrance, carved in marble over the doors leading to Brett Hall, and in tile in the lending area of the Louis Stokes Wing. This motif signals the Library’s efforts to empower the public through free and open access to information and resources, a commitment that has been part of our foundation since 1869. This 2018 Report to the Community shares the work Cleveland Public Library has done this year to ensure the Lamp of Knowledge only grows brighter in the years to come. Our Mission: We are The People’s University, the center of learning for a diverse and inclusive community.

CENTRAL LIBRARY HABS NO. PA-6749 Location: 1901Vine Street, bounded by 19xth , 20>thUi and Wood Streets, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The library faces south onto Logan Circle and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway that runs at a diagonal from Vine Street. Owner: The library is part of the Free Library of Philadelphia system and is owned by the City of Philadelphia. Present Use: Central library Significance: The Central Library, built between 1917 and 1927, was designed by well-known architect Horace Trumbauer and his associate Julian Abele and it is the flagship of the Philadelphia Free Library system. Favoring French architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, they based their design on the twin Ministere de la Marine and Hotel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde in Paris. The library was the first structure to be erected along the city's new parkway, which was likewise inspired by Parisian precedents, namely the Champs d'Elysee. It too was the work of Horace Trumbauer, with architects Paul Cret, Clarence Zantzinger, and French planner Jacques Greber. Intended as a grand boulevard linking City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Fairmount Park, it was later named for Benjamin Franklin. The parkway and the civic structures and monuments that line it were a product of Philadelphia's City Beautiful movement.
