    CPL

    Did you know the Cleveland Public Library has a number of options and opportunities for parents to support their scholar? As a valued partner in education, your local branch may be willing to host a parent meeting, or provide a workshop for parents. Consider having a member of the Family Engagement Committee to research the possibilities and what makes sense for your school.
    Life as a parent is not always easy. The parent resources were created by CPL Children’s Librarians to help you through the good and difficult days of parenting. Hand selected books, searchable databases and trusted web sites are designed to help you and your child through life’s little challenges.
