Ross Cockfield Greetings to all our patrons and supporters. The business of libraries is a fascinating business. It involves more than books, and now includes innovative technologies, services, and programs all designed to serve the public. In addition to that, our building and facilities must be maintained so that our patrons feel safe, comfortable, and secure when they use our library. Each of these carries a cost. It is my responsibility to make sure that our budget is established and maintained to ensure that each area of the library receives the financial attention it deserves. As our patrons require new services, we must be prepared to accommodate these needs and do so at the highest level. Our library serves as one of nine independent library systems in Cuyahoga County, and we receive the greatest amount of our funding from the State of Ohio and property taxes. When you pay sales tax for any item you purchase, a percentage of that money is used to fund libraries across the state. We receive a portion of the money that comes to Cuyahoga County. Ohio has one of the best funded library systems in the country. We also receive funding from Cuyahoga County representing a portion of the property taxes paid by homeowners, property owners and businesses in the East Cleveland school district. As I said, the business of libraries is a fascinating business. In my spare time I enjoy woodworking and making three-dimensional chess boards with pieces that are turned on a lathe. I am also an avid reader of African American history. I am happy to be part of a staff of dedicated individuals who work hard to make sure that every patron - adults and children alike - receives the best library services we have to offer.
Inclusive Story-time Mondays, March 4th & 18th, 2024 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM In partnership with the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, join us as we celebrate diversity.

Employee Spotlight Autumn Chisholm Employee Spotlight Name & occupation? Autumn Chisholm, Emerging Teen Tech Associate/Head of Teens Department What do you like most about working at the ECPL? The lovely access I get to books, because I love books. What’s your favorite book-to-movie adaptation? Probably if I’m going ironic, I’d say Twilight, because I was in the thick of it. If I was going to break it down, it's Catching Fire because I saw that movie right after it came out. I read it in class, and it was the only book-to-movie adaptation I’d seen. It’s exactly what happened in the book. What are some of your favorite bands? Paramore, I Love Them! And 21 Pilots. What is your favorite place that you have travelled to? London, because it was interesting to get out of the continental United States. I was one of those weirdos who went out of the country before I went to the other side of the US. What advice would you give your younger self? Just chill out and calm down. Don't try to grow up too fast, it’ll be okay. If you could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive) who would it be? If we’re gonna go dead, I’d say Abraham Lincoln. Alive? Beyoncé. 14 spring 2024

On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. SOLAR ECLIPSE APRIL 2024 A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. You can expect the temperature to drop about 10 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) depending on the humidity and cloud cover at your location. When looking at the Solar Eclipse, make sure you wear protective glasses, also known as “solar glasses” to stay safe. On average, the Earth and Moon are about 150 million kilometres (or 93 million miles) from the Sun! The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. The longest duration of totality is 4 minutes, 28 seconds, near Torreón, Mexico.
