Rediscover The Parma-Powers Branch Library This Year
At the Parma-Powers Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, we strive to offer high quality programming that is both informative and entertaining, in addition to providing valuable information resources, help with obtaining critical social services, comfortable spaces to study, gather, or hold an important meeting, and ready access to a wide variety of literature and media ranging from the brand new to classic.
The Parma-Powers Branch features a new art gallery wall that we hope will brighten your spirits and inspire you to explore your library and the world at large with greater curiosity, passion, and imagination. Our Winter show, the “Individual Identity in the Face of Adversity,” features 6 Cleveland artists who use varying forms of media to explore how one’s identity is affected by the challenges of today’s world. The show also features kinetic typography created by second year Graphic Design students at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
