Join us this month as we read When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed. The book tells the true story of Omar's life in a refugee camp. When an opportunity for the orphaned Omar to get an education arises, he must decide whether pursuing it or caring for his younger brother is the best path for his future.

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.
This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
