Today is President Garfield's birthday and the inaugural James A. Garfield Day in Ohio! We appreciate any opportunity to remember this remarkable (if often forgotten) leader and thank our wonderful neighbors at James A. Garfield National Historic Site!

For the safety of our patrons and staff, the Main branch will be closed today, Sunday, December 1st. Stay safe out there, everyone!

Because of the lake-effect snow, all of our branches are closing at 5 pm on Monday, Dec. 2. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Snow showers this morning have transitioned to pure lake effect, impacting areas across the primary & secondary snowbelts. Strong wind gusts will result in blowing snow & reduced visibilities, impacting travel. If you must travel, allow plenty of time. #ohwx #pawx

We're delaying our branches' opening today because of snow. As of now, we intend to open at 11 am. But these lake-effect storms are unpredictable. We may need to revise our plans if the situation changes. Please check our social media for the latest update before visiting today.

Our Main, Lake, and Headlands Branches will open at 11 am today (Thursday, Dec. 5.) The HUB is closed today because of weather. Be safe out there.
