Meeting Room (75)

Enjoy a Women in History live performance of the life and music of the fabulous Billie Holiday.

Billie Holiday was an American Jazz singer/songwriter known for her intimate style, innovative phrasing, and strong personality. Billie was one of the first Black women to sing with an all-white orchestra (Artie Shaw), appeared in a movie, “New Orleans” in 1947, also starring her idol, Louis Armstrong and was one of the first female singers to command over $1,000 per week.  She published her autobiography, “Lady Sings the Blues” in 1956.

About the branch

The Brecksville Branch is conveniently located across the street from the Brecksville Community Center and the Kids Quarters playground area. In 2006, the branch suffered extensive flood damage that required the building to be closed for nearly six months while repairs were made. The newly remodeled building reopened on January 14, 2007.
