Learn bat basics and taxonomy, Ohio’s bat conservation status, and the impact of White-nose Syndrome.

They’ve volunteered with organizations including The Nature Conservancy, Portage Park District, Ohio State Parks, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

About the branch

Opened in 1924, the Berea Branch was the third branch to join the Cuyahoga County Public Library system. It was initially housed in City Hall from 1924-1939 and then a small storefront in 1957 before moving to a standalone building. The branch is located adjacent to beautiful Coe Lake Park.
