WHY I GIVE

Donor Testimonials:

“

“"I have been using CPL since I was 12, when my family first moved to Northeast Ohio. Literature is my great love, but all of the Library's resources are amazing, from the specialized collections at the Main Library to the many resources at all of the branches. CPL is one of our region's greatest assets, but I have found that many people don't know much about CPL, or use our collections and activities, and I hope that my gift will help CPL broaden its impact in our community. I am a voracious reader but I buy very few books. Given how many books I check out of the Library, my gift is a great bargain!"”

“I support the Cleveland Public Library since it represents one of this region's greatest assets. CPL has been around for over 150 years and is truly "the peoples university". While most patrons know the library for its wonderful selection of books, the CPL offers much more. Its facilities and resources are strategically positioned throughout Cleveland's neighborhoods as well as on-line. Furthermore, it serves as THE hub for learning, engagement, inclusion, and opportunities. The organization partners with public and private organizations to bring an unbiased view on matters important to us all. Without the CPL, our communities and many of its citizens would not have access to the resources needed to grow and succeed as individuals. I encourage everyone to fully leverage the CPL resources and financially support its unique purpose and role in our region.”
