This program gives children of all ages—from toddlers to teens— the chance to work together toward the common goal of growing fresh vegetables, which they share with their families and neighbors. Members of the Book Worm Garden Club also take some of the vegetables they grow to the Cuyahoga County Fair as part of 4-H’s Junior Fair. “The goal of the Union Branch’s Garden Club is to ignite an interest in gardening and the outdoors among young people.

    1869-1994 A Celebration of the Cleveland Public Library by James M. Wood ONE HUNDRED AND TwENTY-FIVE 1869-1994 A Celebration of the Cleveland Public Library by James M. 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.

    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.
