The Cuyahoga River and its recovery from infamy is a tale packed with drama and battles, with ignorance and science, losses and victories.
Our "burning river" had its last fire 50 years ago. Elaine Marsh, watershed specialist with the Summit Metro Parks, leads a visual presentation on the conditions that led to a century of fires, the consequence of those fires, and the river’s remarkable recovery from these. She will also discuss the benefits of clean water to northeast Ohio and the river’s role in region’s future.
Light refreshments will be served, courtesy of the Friends of the Goodyear Branch Library.

If you've found the historic Goodyear sign at the corner of East Market Street and Goodyear Boulevard, you've arrived at the Goodyear Branch Library. The library honors its past with its two 1939 fireplaces, cozy window seats, and artwork by local artists celebrating flight, motion, and the community's aeronautic roots. The library serves its customers very much in the present, with computers and computer classes, WiFi, scanning and faxing, engaging programming for all ages, and a collection of books, movies, and music that is sure to appeal to a great variety of reading, viewing, and listening tastes.
The Goodyear Branch Library is a community gathering place for local non-profit organizations and Ward Council meetings. Goodyear Branch staff can be found out and about at local events and in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools bringing news of library events and sharing story and library how-to. With redevelopment in the community's horizon, Goodyear Branch Library remains a community anchor, continuing the tradition of responsive service to all.
