Executive Director Strobel stated today a diverse team of 22 individuals met virtually for the first of five
strategic planning committee meetings. Board members Maria Spangler and Robert Varley represent our
Operating Board and she thanked them for this extra time commitment. It was a very robust
conversation, and she is confident this engaged and enthusiastic group will help to define an exciting
future for CCPL.

Executive Director Strobel mentioned that you may have seen in the news CCPL continues to assist
where we can in the effort to eradicate COVID-19 and return to a new version of normal. CCPL Branch
staff have been assisting customers with vaccine information and registration. We have recently
welcomed FEMA representatives in several branches to interface directly with customers to register for
vaccine appointments. We are also working with the Governor’s office and the Union to develop an
acceptable procedure for distributing free COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits through our drive-up windows. We
hope to begin that service soon. This will help our residents feel comfortable returning to work, travel and
gathering with family safely.

Executive Director Strobel stated she have recently engaged in conversations with Mayor Gallagher, City
of Brooklyn. The city has completed the planning process for a new civic campus and would like to
engage formally in conversations with CCPL about building a new Branch on land adjacent to their new
city hall complex on Memphis Avenue. Executive Director Strobel welcomed direction from the Board to
Include this topic at a future committee meeting.

Executive Director Strobel mentioned she look forward to seeing some of the Board members at the Bay
Village groundbreaking ceremony. There is some great news about the future of Bay Village Branch and
Development Director Hawes will share that with us.

Director Hawes stated we have been working hard to raise capital funds for the new Bay Village Branch
especially in relation to the much-desired rooftop patio which costs $250,000. Over the weekend we
were able to secure a lead donor to fund a large portion of that and several more donations have come in
to fund the rooftop patio as well. We have raised other money to support other special features like an
Innovation Center, interactive children’s space, and a high-tech teen space. Thus far, we have raised a
total of $460,000 towards the new Bay Village Branch.

Executive Director commented that will be a great addition to extend our goal of providing community
meeting spaces, people like to meet outside, and she does not think that trend will end with the pandemic
and that is the perfect space to hold events and meetings.

Executive Director Strobel introduced Rebecca Ranallo, our new Literacy and Learning Director to share
a presentation on Summer Programming for Students to help young people catch up on the learning
opportunities they lost in the 2021 school year, due to the pandemic.

Director Ranallo stated there is a lot of concern about students and learning loss this year, whether it was
students who did not take well to learning online or dropped out entirely. We have a lot of concerns about
what our Districts have seen. We have 23 Districts that we work with here in our 47 communities and that
is a lot of Districts, and a lot of different experiences for our students. According to the Ohio State report
earlier this week, they were saying that all the schools that they surveyed, many of them showed some
concern in children losing up to 25% of their reading attainment for the year, but also 60 schools that they
surveyed did not show any drop. We know that we have a gap in some cases with some of our Districts,
and some of our Districts are doing well. What we decided to give them this year was a menu of our
services that we offer. All our schools are required by the Governor to show a plan for how they are going
to make that programming loss and that plan is due by April 1, and we want to be a partner in that plan.
Director Ranallo read a quote that said, “During a crisis no single organization attacks challenges faced
by the community” and we want to be a part of that group that tackles our challenges. We know that this
learning gap is disproportionately affecting our vulnerable students, and our students in vulnerable
communities. But we also know that those challenges are happening anywhere. Anyone can see food
insecurity for anyone who has lost a job. We wanted to give an opportunity for as many of our Districts to
embrace us as a resource and part of those resources is the menu that we are offering them. Director

Ranallo stated part of that menu is that every branch is going to have either our Homework Center
Coordinator or a Tutor on site during the week for students who come in, or going for some school
sponsored program that need help We are going to retain our Homework Center Mentors because that is
our best chance for the coordinators who already have relationships with our kids to connect with them,
see how they're doing over the summer, whether they're back in school, and make that personal
connection more than what they already have.

Director Ranallo stated those first will be through sixth graders by appointment. We also have digital
resources, and we have a local company that we are working with that has tutors locally who connects
virtually to a learning plan for the kids. They are amazing and we are very enthusiastic and hoping that
works out with them as we like that local connection. We also have tutor.com which is a live tutor that
students can connect with and we will be making those resources available. We felt it also important to
have a live person in our branches for those students that come in who need our help.

Director Ranallo mentioned we are excited about our very successful 123 Read program, which is a
grade level literacy program for students who are in danger of not meeting the third-grade reading
guarantee. It has been offered in seven locations and has amazing results. Dr, Celia Huffman, CCPL
Youth Education Coordinator runs this program for us. She has made incredible connections to our
communities. Many of the locations where she offers this program are going to take her up on a summer
session. We are planning on offering one to two sessions at those branches this summer.

Director Ranallo stated we will get a few more connections with the schools. Traditionally, we have
always done summer reading, and this is how the schools know us. We are really working hard this year
to make sure that they know us beyond summer reading, but she is also getting out to them that it is not
just summer reading it is a daily habit. Students who read 20 minutes a day, who are at their reading
level will continue and stay at that level for the summer. Students who read 20 minutes a day who are
falling behind on a reading level will increase that level if they can just take 20 minutes a day, they will
increase their reading level by the end of the summer and that is really an important message we want to
get across. This year we are working with schools to try and make summer reading mandatory and have
their kids K through sixth sign up at school for summer reading. We have a few schools who are
interested in just sending us a list and we will auto register all their families, but what we really want to
see is students read and participate in reading every day and know they read all summer.

Director Ranallo stated reading is great family activity. She hears from families all the time that when my
child is old enough to read, but they do not have to be, you can read with them, it does not matter if they
are reading on their own and that is something we are going to be focusing on this year and focusing on
making that program as easy as possible. Our summer reading software has an app, it is easy to tie
reading with your kids and just track what they are reading. We are looking at all the ways we can to
make it as easy as possible for them to participate.

Director Ranallo mentioned you may have heard us talk in the past about our wonderful summer camps,
and the amazing work that our Branch Librarians do. This summer is a challenge again. Last summer
every branch had plans to offer their own programming. It was going to be an incredible increase in
programming and equity for our branches, but COVID-19 happened. We are going to offer 40 virtual
programs from local programmer regulars that we work with, and they are going to be as open as
possible. We do have to keep registration because these programs are virtual and are going to be big.
We have told our programmers expect hundreds of kids in these programs. We are excited for our kickoff
and we are going to hand out boxes of supplies. We know we have kids in our districts who are going to
have supplies for the summer who may not have supplies for these programs. We are looking for all
those ways that we can make this as inclusive as possible. Families who take a box of supplies and do
not come to the programs are okay because it is a creativity box for the summer. All 40 programs will be
open, and our staff are registering customers for those programs. These programs will be tied to State
learning standards. We will also have our popular challenging videos from last summer where our staff,
and some of our local programmers, talk about STEAM in their daily lives, how to use it in our jobs. We

have NASA engineers, and artists, they will talk about STEAM, then one of our staff will demonstrate a
challenge, and we will encourage families to do that challenge with books on social media.

Director Ranallo stated that is our entire menu of amazing things that we are offering to the schools, and
we had a great response, and we are excited to form relationships with the schools to talk more about
what they do and where they see us.

Executive Director Strobel commented the stress that the schools are under provides a great opportunity
for us to do this. She thanked and appreciated the work Director Ranallo, and Director Jankowski and
their teams are doing and watching the progress this summer.

Human Resources Director Good summarized the HR report. There were four promotions, three new
hires, and two retirements.

Finance Committee Report:
Finance Committee Chair DePiero reminded us that the Finance Committee met prior to the Board
meeting, and Director Morgan gave an in-depth review of the financials.

Director Morgan gave highlights from the Finance report. He stated we received advances for both
property tax levies. February is traditionally our largest month of collection and the same was true for this
year. For both levies combined we received over $22 million dollars about 43% of our revenue being
anticipated collected for the year.

Director Morgan stated the Public Library Fund (PLF) distribution for the month was slightly larger than
what we received last year in February 2020. There is a smaller amount projected for the year than what
we received last year. We will continue to monitor this account.

Director Morgan stated patron fines and fees collected in February were significantly less than what we
received last year. This was anticipated due to customer visits being down and processing fees for
passports are also significantly down.

Director Morgan stated salaries and benefits are within budget.

Director Morgan stated library materials overall show an expenditure of over 26% spent due to the larger
expenditures in the month of January which is typically a large buying month for both categories.
(See under FINANCE)

Director Morgan stated we purchased three pieces of commercial paper from Mizuho Bank Ltd, Lloyds Bd
Corporate and Standard Chartered Bank with yields of 0.20-0.22%.

Director Morgan reminded us at last month Finance Committee meeting Michelle Hillstrom from Stifel
Nicolaus, gave a presentation on Refunding our Debt Service indicating where interest rates were at that
time, we would have the ability to save some dollars if we refunded the notes that we have available.
This resolution would allow us to begin that process. We would be refunding notes in the amount of
$49,900,000. The rates are a little higher than where they were and if for some reason, we do not hit the
benchmark we were looking at by savings, we will hold off on this. We would still like to move forward
with the process, and we will continue to monitor this account.

07/03/2021
Trustee DePiero moved approval, seconded by Trustee Blakemore. Seeing no additional discussion, the

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
WHAT’S NEXT?
At the Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL) Board of Trustees Policy, Planning and
External Relations Committee meeting held on April 8, I shared a draft of a phased
plan to return to full service. The draft plan recaps how we got from our initial closure
last March to where we are today, and outlines the many considerations in play for an
eventual return to pre-pandemic service levels, including the triggers that help guide
our decisions to transition from one phase of the plan to the next.

We are currently in the third phase of our reopening plan. Our buildings are open
at 25 percent capacity, but in-person programs remain on hold, meeting rooms are
still closed, and half of our public computer stations remain unavailable as part of
our efforts to encourage social distancing inside our buildings. We cannot project a
specific date for CCPL to return to full service, but we are at least beginning to see the
proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Governor DeWine recently stated publicly that
he is considering changing Ohio’s metric for ending coronavirus-related public health
orders from case levels to vaccination levels. As of April 21, 2021, the Cuyahoga
County Board of Health estimates 40 percent of county residents have had a least
one COVID-19 vaccination shot. As more and more Ohioans get fully-vaccinated we
may be getting closer to our goal of safely reinstating full service. That is not to say,
however, that CCPL will immediately return to full-service the moment public health
orders are lifted. We will continue to take a prudent approach to our reopening plans
– prioritizing the health and safety of our staff and customers – as we have done from
the start of the pandemic.

In the meantime, we are doing our part to help Ohioans get vaccinated. County
residents that have little or no internet access face significant hurdles in securing
vaccination appointments. We have spent the past several weeks collaborating with
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help county residents make
vaccination appointments at the Cleveland State University Wolstein Center Mass
Vaccination Clinic. FEMA representatives have been setting up shop at CCPL branches
in communities with underserved populations to help to residents secure appointments.
We have also received RTA bus passes for residents who need transportation to get
to their appointments, and a limited number of vaccine appointment access codes
that allow our staff members to register customers by phone or in person at our
branches. Free at-home COVID-19 testing kits are also available at 11 branches. All
of the branches where these kits are available have drive-through windows. Kits are
available for drive-through pick-up only - they are not available for in-branch pick-up.
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and wish to pick-up a testing kit, please
do not enter our buildings and risk exposing our staff and customers to virus.
If you need help, we’re here for you.

@nickieantonio (Nickie J. Antonio), March 22, 2021

The Berea Branch’s “We’re in this Together” community puzzle project is complete and hanging in the
children’s area. An elderly couple came in with their grandson who had decorated one of the puzzle
pieces. They were all so excited to see the completed project and see his piece as part of the whole. They
took many pictures of both puzzle canvases with their phones.

On March 28, a mother came into the North Royalton Branch children’s room with her son and
commented on how much she loved the Festival of Colors book (Holi). She said it was appreciated that the
branch had a holiday display that included Holi and Passover along with Easter. She said it was nice to
learn about different cultures and customs.

On March 29, the Brooklyn Branch’s Gabriel Venditti presented a virtual introduction to basic fly tying
with a live demonstration as well as information for local anglers. Nine fishing enthusiasts learned about
different types of flies, tools and techniques, and several stayed after the program to ask questions and
discuss what they had learned.

A former Page, Tomasz Lesczichka, stopped in at the Parma Heights Branch to say hello to Cinthia Sledz.
(Page supervisor). She didn’t even recognize this grown-up young adult! He shared his name and said that
working at the library was “transformational.” He said he had not thought of college until he worked here,
but he went on to attend OU and then got a law degree!

Brook Park Branch Manager Shayna Muckerheide and BSA Bonnie Laessig hosted a two-part genealogy
series on Zoom on March 8 and March 15. The classes became full and waitlisted quickly, attendance was
high (27 and 30, respectively), and many customers asked that the program be offered again in fall 2021.

On March 27, Sarah Carpenter and Jesse Sanders led the second “Virtual Expert Makers” at the Fairview
Park Branch. Twenty-five participants used different parts of recycled books to create several crafts. Using
covers and spines, they created a secret book box. Attendees also created sustainable journals using book
covers and paper. Finally, they created folded book page mice. These programs have been so popular that
next month’s program was full before this one even started!
15
The Bay Village Branch’s BSA I Peg Tomek presented a “Preschool Explorers” virtual program on March
20. The program was designed to help preschoolers build kindergarten readiness skills by working on
activities with their caregiver ahead of the program. During the program, Tomek shared stories and rhymes
and ended with a fun color experiment. The 23 participants also had an opportunity to share which
activities they enjoyed.

On March 9, North Olmsted Branch BSA I Alison Lyon (teen) hosted a “Tinkercad Basics” virtual program.
Six teens joined in learning to create and render their own 3D designs. Teens’ designs were printed using
the Innovation Center’s 3D printers and sent to their local branch for pickup.

Colin Donahue, spouse of the Middleburg Heights Branch’s BSL Children’s Supervisor Rebecca Price-
Donahue, treated customers and staff to a mini-bagpipe concert to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Donahue
stood outside the branch on the sidewalk, and all staff and customers were thrilled to hear traditional
Irish songs as well as a few Star Wars numbers. Everyone had a smile on their face and expressed their
gratitude.

Twenty-seven children, family members and a few librarians celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2 at
“Lunchtime Stories” with Parma Branch BSL II Susannah Hamm. Zoom partygoers listened to books and a
rhyme, tried tongue twisters and sang songs. Their materials kit included more Dr. Seuss-themed activities to
do at home.

The Strongsville Branch received an email from a customer who spent a lot of time at the branch as a
child during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. She had a question regarding a taxidermy animal that was in
the library at that time and is now housed at the Strongsville Historical Society. She believed it was a dog;
however, in doing research, staff found it was actually called “The Strongsville Wolf” (killed in 1888), which
was why children’s room in the old branch was called “The Wolf’s Den”! In later years it was reidentified
and is now correctly listed as a coyote. The customer said, “Thanks for reading this. If you cannot help, I
would like to express my gratitude to the CCPL for helping me fall in love with reading all those years ago.”

An older customer who had been coming into the Olmsted Falls Branch lately asked for help printing some
documents from an email. She then asked for help in reading them, as she couldn’t read English very well.
They were related to selling her house, and she had heard of someone who lost their house in a scam. The
librarian read the documents to her page by page so she could answer the questions and know what she
was signing. She was very grateful and said, “Libraries are good places – people here you can trust!”

On March 23, the Parma-Snow Branch “Teen Maker Club” kicked off its first week with a staff-led
workshop on drawing cute animals. The five attendees learned how to find an animal photo online,
visualize it in terms of simple lines and add roundness and features to make the animal adorable. Some of
the teens also shared artwork they created before the program.

A customer visiting the Beachwood Branch was putting together a cover letter and résumé. She was
looking for resources on editing her résumé and asked if staff could read it over for her. BSA Claire Weibel
directed her to Cuyahoga Works and told her that they offer virtual appointments and give direct feedback.
The customer was able to schedule an appointment for an hour later and came back saying what a great
experience it was. Not only did she receive materials and guides for her job search, but she also had a
follow-up appointment scheduled for the next week so they could reconnect and go into more depth on the
next steps.

On March 17 at the Solon Branch BSA I Jennifer Johnson took 22 Zoom travelers on a virtual “Magic
Carpet World Tour.” Johnson performed four original variants of folktales from cultures around the
world, enhanced with puppets, props and the enthusiastic active participation of the audience members
from home (and, in one case, from their car booster seat).

The Chagrin Falls Branch invited families with children ages 5 – 7 to participate virtually in the “Sound
Sleuth” program. The 10 kids got to see sound wave experiments involving rice and a boom box, made
a kazoo, sang with Ms. Ginna, learned amazing musical facts and finished the program by making their
own rain stick. Ms. Ginna put together craft/activity packets that families picked up in advance so they
could continue their exploration of the science of sound after the program.

Fifth-graders at the Gates Mills Branch worked with the library on DIY kaleidoscopes. They were learning
about light and how it bends. The kit consisted of mylar reflective material, which they bent into prism
shapes inside a tube to reflect light into patterns. There were 17 in-school students and three at-home
students who had the chance to make their own kaleidoscope, thanks to the Friends of the Library.

On March 9, BSL II Kathy Roach and BSL I Dottie Louis of the Independence Branch virtually hosted 23
students and teachers from the iPride Academy, Independence School District’s online learning program.
Louis assisted Roach by filming a virtual tour of the library. Roach did a quick tour of the library’s website
and databases as well as 30 minutes of book talks for students in grades K – 5. Louis finished the visit with
15 to 20 minutes of book talks for students in grades 6 – 8.

On March 20, the Brecksville Branch’s BSA I Lynne White, assisted by Lana Gionfriddo, led 12 youth
in grades 4 – 8 to complete a “Virtual Hogwarts Escape Room.” The students quickly caught on as the
Harry Potter-themed story presented clues and challenges as they made their way through the interactive
program. The students worked together in suggesting ideas and voting on the best answer. In the end, the
group “escaped” and each earned a custom-made Harry Potter face mask. One lucky participant also was
randomly picked via the Wheel of Names and won a Harry Potter duffle bag.

On March 29, a Southeast Branch customer came into the branch to thank the staff for assisting him on
how to register his business as a nonprofit. He told Branch Manager Eboni Dickerson how grateful he was
for the helpfulness of the staff and how easy they made it for him. Alex Ward had previously printed step-
by-step instructions for him, which he easily followed, and a few short weeks later he had his own nonprofit
agency. The customer was so excited he just wanted to come in and share the wonderful news.

A Richmond Heights Branch customer was extremely pleased with the support received from BSA II Ramon
Alvarez, who assisted her on the evening she was hoping to attend a Writers Center Stage author event. In
recognition of the excellent customer service received from Alvarez, the customer donated $50 to the library.

During March, several local entrepreneurs relied on the Garfield Heights Branch Innovation Center to
support their businesses:
• On March 1, a customer used the laser to make a sign for his selfie studio business at the Strongsville
  Mall. When a sign company told him that it would cost $700 to make his sign, he decided that he’d
  figure out how to make it himself. The customer used the laser and cut out the whole sign piece by piece.
  Before he left, he laid out the sign on the floor so that staff could see the finished product.
• On March 4, BSA I Emily Gaffney and BSL I Erin Hallahan helped an entrepreneur and the owner of
  Purple Monkey Sircus make promotional keychains. He drew a portrait of himself and his brother using
  Adobe Draw on his phone and imported it into Adobe Illustrator in the Innovation Center to tweak the
  design and then cut and engrave on the laser.
17
BSA I Amber Horton helped a customer with preregistering for the vaccine with University Hospitals and
creating an email account. He returned to the Maple Heights Branch about an hour later to say he was
contacted, but he didn’t know what to do next. He was not tech savvy, and he would need help getting
on the computer. Since the notification came to his smartphone, Melissa Brown assisted him in following
the link and filling out the additional information on his phone. He successfully registered for the first and
second dose of the vaccine for the following week and was pleasantly surprised with how easy the process
was. He was very thankful for the help!

On March 20, the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch had 15 virtual attendees for Sign Language Basics
with Valerie Williams. During this class, participants learned ASL letters, numbers and everyday words.
Attendees had a great time spelling their names and speaking to each other by creating sentences with ASL
signs. All attendees were eager to learn more and wanted to know when Williams was coming back.

The Mayfield Branch’s BSL Children’s Supervisor Maria Trivisonno and BSL I Jacquie Kociubuk held their
first virtual STEAM programs, scheduled during Mayfield Schools’ spring break week. On March 23,
10 tweens participated in Kociubuk’s “Create Your Own Vinyl Sticker” program to design a sticker that
Kociubuk later printed on the Cricut for them to pick up. On March 24, Trivisonno had 27 children and
parents participate in “Science Sleuths – Air!” Together, they experimented with cotton balls and paper
roto-copters and made wind sock kites and spiral spinners.

In an effort to promote the ongoing Friends book sale, Orange Branch Page Anne Fiordalisi, who is also a
member of the Friends of the Orange Branch Library, put together bags of books for $1 by age level. One
family was excited to purchase a bag marked “Children’s Books.” Although the kids wanted to open the
bag immediately, their mom said, “We are keeping this sealed until we are in the car and driving on our
spring break trip.”

Beginning March 15, the Warrensville Heights Branch youth department began a new “Trauma-Informed
Practices” pilot program to address children who have dealt with traumatic experiences in their early lives.
Youth Supervisor Isabel Klein has worked closely with both Beyond Words and P.A.LS for Healing to offer
adapted dance classes, art empowerment classes, and music and movement classes. The total number of
children and guardian participants has reached 117 since beginning the program! Upon registration,
the youth also received full art packets to use during their art classes. The program will continue for
approximately six more weeks.
