Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish announced a major project last week to expand wireless internet access to approximately 70% of Cleveland’s Central neighborhood, and provide Internet equipment to 500 of 2,500 households. He called it part of a broader effort to revitalize Cleveland’s urban core.
Every year, Cleveland Public Library and LAND Studio create a new, temporary public art installation at the Eastman Reading Garden downtown. This year, however, the “See Also” program is also being extended into the city’s neighborhoods, and a large new mural by artist Darius Steward recently went up at the Lee-Harvard branch at 16918 Harvard Ave.
From this June through 2029, all 27 Cleveland branch libraries are supposed to be replaced or improved. Then officials hope to renovate Main Library and the attached Stokes Wing. Voters backed the branch work in 2017 with a tax increase of 2 mills, costing $35 per year for a $50,000 home.
As part of their collaboration with Cleveland Public Library to bridge the digital divide, PCs for People is offering 10,000 free computers and hotspots to qualified Cuyahoga County residents who need them most during the pandemic.
Mark Glass was standing in line downtown with a few other people before 10 a.m. Monday, when the Cleveland Public Library reopened its doors after the longest hiatus in its 151 years.
