(See pages 300-303) Report of the Board President: President Leonard acknowledged that 2020 was a very unusual and challenging year. We have gone through three major key events. One is the on-boarding and hiring of a new Executive Director, passing a levy, and COVID-19 impacting our business. President Leonard is happy to say we have thrived through all that and have come out stronger. Executive Director Strobel has done a terrific job of keeping things going. Our levy passed with great voter support in the community which is awesome. We have also managed to continue to provide service to constituents through these very difficult times. He thanked Executive Director Strobel and her Leadership Team for an unbelievable year despite everything that was thrown at us. President Leonard stated Trustee Varley has chaired the Nominating Committee and the following have accepted nominations to board leadership positions for the upcoming fiscal year. Trustee Leonard to fill the role of President, Trustee DePiero to fill the role of Vice President, Trustee Davies to fill the role of Secretary. The official vote will be at the January 2021 organization meeting. 291 | Page 5 Report of the Executive Director: Executive Director Strobel thanked President Leonard for the kind and supportive words. She extended happy holiday wishes to the Board and to everyone watching this evening. She stated in November, our big news was the passing of Issue 70, which strengthened our financial future for years to come. Executive Director Strobel shared for the 11th consecutive year, the Cuyahoga County Public Library was named a “five star” system by Library Journal, again we have the highest score among our large library peers. It was very gratifying to be lauded for this achievement in both traditional and social media for the past week. Executive Director Strobel acknowledged the nineteen staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19. Two thirds of these occurred during the fall surge that we are still in and the severity of these cases has varied widely. We wish each of them, our best as they return to good health. She gave thanks to the Human Resources Team led by Director Good and the Facilities Team led by Director Mori and our staff who responds to the positive reports of COVID-19. Executive Director Strobel acknowledged and thanked an unsung hero from our Human Resources Division, Lisa Keefer, CCPL Human Resources Coordinator. She is the expert when it comes to all the acronyms like FMLA and ADA and FFCRA. She has been incredibly busy helping connect people who are sick, caring for loved ones who are sick and those juggling with dependent care while, kids are home with remote schooling. She connects them with the benefits they need and helps them navigate all the complexities involved with those benefits. If any of us had a nickel for every time we said, “I don't know call Lisa about that” we would have never had to go to the ballot in November we could have just lived off those nickels for years to come. Executive Director Strobel commented she wanted the record to show that Ms. Keefer’s expertise, her efficiency, compassion and her hard work and dedication are appreciated by herself, and all her colleagues and by the Board. Executive Director Strobel gave highlights on the creativity and the breadth of programming taking place in the branches even with our doors closed to walk in traffic at this time. The amount of reimagining of what we traditionally do has truly been impressive. Our staff have been busy creating and sharing videos like outdoor story walks, take and make crafts, our new personalized pic service has been very popular. We have been doing curbside printing and faxing, virtual homework help, and virtual school visits through Zoom. It has been terrific how people have stepped up and been so resilient and especially so creative. Executive Director Strobel introduced Robert Rua, CCPL Assistant Marketing Director to share more details about some of our virtual programming and customer engagement efforts during these unique times. Assistant Director Rua thanked everyone for this opportunity this evening. He stated we have come a long way since the initial onset of the pandemic in March, which made it necessary to cancel hundreds of in person programs. Assistant Director Rua is proud of how quickly our organization pivoted to virtual content to keep our customers engaged, informed, and entertained. Aside from a few exceptions, we have not been able to hold in person programming, but from a virtual content standpoint, we have had a very active year.

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. Our Vision: Cleveland Public Library will be the driving force behind a powerful culture of learning that will inspire Clevelanders from all walks of life to continually learn, share, and seek out new knowledge in ways that are beneficial to themselves, their community, and the world. MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR A Brilliant Future In 2018, Cleveland Public Library enjoyed an exciting and successful year.

This thesis attempts to explore how the two systems co-exist in a somewhat overlapping geographic area, and will explore the complementary nature of the two organizations. The role of public libraries, specifically in Ohio, is also an important part of this project, as well as how the current economy is affecting public libraries as a whole. A literature review and a survey of a small number of Cuyahoga County library users provide additional context and original research for this thesis. A recommendation is made based on these factors. iii Table of Contents Abstract iii Contents iv List of Figures vi Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Cuyahoga County vs. City of Cleveland Demographics 4 Chapter Three: Why Study Libraries in the First Place? 7 Chapter Four: Rationale 10 Chapter Five: Methodology 11 Chapter Six: Ohio’s Library Systems 12 Section 6.1: Ohio is No.
