Think of Your Library
All CCPL Branches will be closed Saturday, July 4 for Independence Day
Thank You for Your Support
Your Voice Is Being Heard
Use our email form to tell your legislators what your library means to you.
- You sent over 35,000 emails to our legislators and overwhelmed the switchboards with your phone calls.
- Your voice has been heard by the Ohio General Assembly and the Governor
- Representative Joe Uecker (Ohio House District 66) has issued this statement in support of Ohio libraries.
- We thank all the legislators for listening and thank them for their hardwork in Columbus.
- Now we wait for the Conference Committee and General Assembly to reach a decision about the state budget. The Ohio Senate and House have approved an interim budget giving legislators another week to work out an impasse over how to fill a $3.2 billion hole in the $54 billion budget. The current interim budget runs through July 7, 2009.

Summer of Service
Join other volunteers around the nation for Summer of Service. The White House in partnership with the Corporation for National & Community Service have created Summer of Service a "national coalition of major youth-serving organizations that are committed to engaging youth in service during the summer months and recognize the potential of youth to identify issues, develop projects, and provide lasting benefits to the communities in which they live through volunteer service."

A Creative Experience @ Your Library
June 6 - August 1
Your library has four unique reading experiences for kids ages 0-2, 3-8, 8-12, 12-17 as well as a program specifically created for childcares. All of the programs give opportunities to enhance pre-literacy and literacy skills, engage in creative expression, have fun, and win prizes.

Searchasaurus
for Young Researchers
Complete with erupting volcanoes, dinosaur guide and compass, Searchasaurus is an exciting and easy way for young researchers to experience online searching. It is an animated interface with a dinosaur theme that encourages young researchers to enhance and develop basic search methodologies. They will be riveted by the colorful, animated interface as they gather information on a wide range of topics. Searchasaurus offers Lexile Limiters (reading level), making it easy for young patrons to read and research only appropriately challenging materials.
