Parma-Powers Branch - Cuyahoga County Public Library

Parma-Powers Branch of Cuyahoga County Public Library opened in October 2013 and has been a Family Place Library from the beginning. The Children's Room serves birth to 5th grade. The large early childhood area features a train table, interactives and murals, all with art and nursery rhymes from Rosemary Wells and Iona Opie's books. 

Family Place Libraries principles inform branch programs and services. Babies and Bumps supports new parents, teaches them about baby development, and fosters the bond with their infants. Storytimes help parents teach their babies, toddlers and preschoolers the skills they need to develop and be ready to read. Kindergarten readiness programs introduce skills needed for school.  Summer English Language Learning at CCPL is an intensive program of language and classroom readiness for preschoolers from immigrant families.

Play Learn and Grow Baby Club workshops are a fun, child-directed learning experience for families with children birth to 35 months. Caregivers appreciate the developmental and social growth they see over the five weeks their babies and toddlers participate in the Workshops. Family Place is part of the CCPL mission to empower individuals and communities by providing opportunities for all to read, learn, create and connect.
