During National Library Week, each Branch Library will host in-person and virtual programs and activities for the entire family. “There’s so much to discover with a Cleveland Public Library card,” said Dr. Tonya Briggs, Branch Manager of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Branch of Cleveland Public Library. “It’s an opportunity to get to know the Library staff and learn about the unique offerings at our branches.”
