Voting Matters

The Cleveland Public Library understands and recognizes the impact voting can have on our communities. At The People’s University, we work hard to engage, educate, shift mindsets, and empower our community on topics that matter, such as voting. This September, we are committed to educating the community on why it matters to vote. We are supporting, sponsoring, and hosting a series of activities to educate our communities on the importance of voting.

5 DAYS FOR DEMOCRACY

Five Days for Democracy is an invitation for you to take just a little bit of time each day, for five days, to think about what democracy means to you. This year we’re taking a look at how all politics is local: what does local government look like, who represents us, and how can we impact city hall.
