As COVID-19 cases in the Greater Cleveland area decreased, the library was able to partially reopen in January, followed by the return of all library services in March 2022. The Ohio Library Council recognized Director Kacie Armstrong with the 2022 Librarian of the Year award. This special recognition was in honor of her work on the 2020 Census and addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts for public libraries. For the first time, the library became a community partner with the Cleveland International Film Festival and promoted a family-friendly children's movie. The Friends of EPL brought back their beloved spring and fall book sales, offering used books, movies, and music for all ages at affordable prices. The library scheduled serveral mobile gaming truck appearances to offer fun outdoor gaming activities to young people and families during the summer months. Euclid Public Library partnered with the Cuyahoga County Astronomical Association to host a stargazing event for the the first time. Participants were able to view the Moon and Saturn using high-powered telescopes. The library was proud to partner with Ohio Means Jobs, Cleveland-Cuyahoga County, Cuyahoga County Job and Family Services, and Aspire Greater Cleveland to offer computer job training to patrons. This program helped residents to prepare for in-demand office jobs and successfully complete Microsoft . Euclid Public Library began envisioning the future of the building. In an effort to stay connected with the public and be up to date on the community's needs, the library invited patrons and staff to take part in a survey and provide ideas and feedback on what services were needed and what the new library building should look like. A Master Faciltiy Plan was completed by Bialsocky Cleveland with the support of our owners representative RFC Contracting. This was a unique year for Euclid Public Library, and we are excited to keep moving forward in the future.
