Collinwood Branch Youth Area Redesign
The staff at the Collinwood Branch put their heads together this year and came up with a new design concept for the Children’s and Young Adult sections. Over the past nine months they have worked with several Library departments to redesign the area and focus on creating something that is visually appealing, inviting, and accessible to all patrons.

Collinwood Branch Program: Who is Today’s MLK?
Who do you look up to? Who motivates you to be the best you can be? Who gets you excited about being a better person? As we ask ourselves these questions, we will examine what Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy means to people both past and present. Children will then write about, prepare, and present to the group who they believe is today’s MLK.
Thursday, January 20 @ 4:00 pm
Fun Winter Break Activities
Provided by Common Sense Media
Snail Mail
Pick a friend or family member and write them a letter the old-fashioned way. Use a pen, paper, envelope, stamp, and your brain—no computer! Make sure to ask them to write back before you drop your letter in the mailbox.
Make a Device-Free Dinner
Prepare a meal for your family, and then enjoy it together. The catch: All devices should be locked away for the entire time!
Dance Party!
Listen to your favorite kid-friendly playlist, and bust a move!
Call an Elder
Call a grandparent, a neighbor, or a friend of the family to check in on them and make their day. Maybe tell them a joke!
Family Photo Album
Take some time together to curate your best family photos, and put them into a digital or old-school album. Create a theme or just choose your favorites.
