Brooklyn Branch

Large Meeting Room (60)

Join the Friends of Brooklyn Library, & the Laurel Garden Club for this fun and informative program, open to all.

The gardening calendar doesn't only last 6 months of the year. It is possible to have four seasons of color and interest. Plants that can fulfill multiple roles can help gardeners achieve that goal. The advantages of using shrubs for the backbone of the year-round garden are explored. This presentation also examines companion plants that provide seasonal interest and support this versatile framework of the landscape border.

About the branch

CCPL’s popular toy collection got its start as a special collection located in the Brooklyn Branch. The collection was housed exclusively at the Brooklyn Branch from 1992 until 2007, when access was expanded throughout the county. Today, anyone with a CCPL library card can request toys from the collection and have them delivered to the CCPL branch of their choice for pick-up.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
