Cleveland Public Library would like to publicize a new public health initiative called the Black Health Empowerment Project (BHEP). Now entering its fifth year, BHEP is an obesity awareness and health promotion tour designed to educate African Americans about the health risks associated with obesity.
The Cleveland Public Library has put together a list of helpful resources related to the current flu outbreak. Although there has only been one confirmed case in Ohio as of April 30, 2009, we feel that the best form of preparedness is to be informed.

Did you know that your library is the place to go for vehicle repair information?
The Science & Technology Department maintains one of the largest car collections in the area.
Here’s a sneak peek:
Electronic Databases: Motor ALLDATA Online and Mitchell OnDemand DVD repair databases provides diagnostic and repair information for vehicles from the early 1980s to date. Included are troubleshooting charts, computer codes, printable repair and wiring diagrams, parts and labor data and Technical Service Bulletins (updated daily).
Repair Manuals: We’ve got everything from the pocket-sized manual for the 1911 Ford Model T to today’s massive, multi-volume sets. The collection includes factory manuals, Chilton’s, Haynes, Bentley and Clymer manuals. Domestic, foreign and imported cars, trucks, SUV’s and vans are covered.
