“If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased.” - Maya Angelou   

Join us as we explore different ways to leave our mark on the world – from artistic prints using custom-carved blocks or the sun’s rays to one-of-a-kind clay creations and positive messages embedded in rock. This four-day series is all about creating lasting impressions on the world that are totally unique and personal.   

No experience needed—just bring your creativity, and we’ll supply the rest!

About the branch

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
