What programs, services, or exhibits would encourage you to spend more time at the library?
I like the plan for outdoor reading space. That would draw me there, especially if there was a coffee bar owned/operated by a locally-owned business.
Before I die, I want to:
Work for community green space and re-connecting Clevelanders (esp. children) back to the land; and hike Ohio's Buckeye Trail. :)
How can we highlight the community’s history and honor its roots and culture?

A comfortable place to study/work quietly. Ideally with a place to charge a laptop. A coffee vending machine would also be cool, but not a top priority!
