with comfy chairs and a fireplace.
If kids are looking for a quiet place to do homework, there
are smaller rooms set up just for that purpose. A game room
offers a big-screen TV for video-gaming and tables and chairs
for board games.
Visit the restored library card drawers near the lobby where
the “Seed Library” is located. Families can fill out a form and

Kids story times, family-friendly programs, teen activities
and adult workshops are on the schedule for the upcoming
months. Stop by for a brochure of the times and dates. Adults
can join other readers in the “Book Nook” to discuss the book
of the month. Current titles are available to check out today.

wrongful conviction in ohio
Wrongful convictions are not just the stuff of true-crime pro-
grams and prime time television. Wrongful conviction occurs
when a person who is factually and morally innocent of a crime
is nevertheless convicted and imprisoned. Since 1989, there
have been over 2,800 exonerations of people who were wrong-
fully convicted in the US, including at least 90 Ohioans. These
cases include those in which a death sentence was imposed.
