Beachwood Branch

Beachwood Meeting Room (Auditorium) (84)

Art historian Felicia Zavarella Stadelman presents her series on the lives and works of beloved artists.

As a self-taught artist working in rural New York, Grandma Moses lacked access to high-quality art materials in the early part of her career. Without any small brushes, she used matches and pins to paint details such as eyes and mouths. It would take more than 80 years for little Anna Mary Robertson to become the world-famous painter Grandma Moses.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Beachwood Library.

About the branch

The Beachwood Branch first opened to the public on October 31, 1982. At the time, it was the first branch in the CCPL system to have an automated circulation system. Located just a few hundred yards from the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, the branch offers a drive-up window where customers can pick up requested materials, dedicated spaces for kids and teens, and a beautiful outdoor reading garden.
