Mount Healthy branch manager outlines programs, police detail and tenants-rights session
Summary
Ria Jarawalo, branch manager at the Mount Healthy Branch Library, told council about recent youth outreach with South Elementary, a Cincinnati Museum Center talk next week, a tenants-rights session rescheduled for April 7, and that officers are providing a police detail weekdays from 3–6 p.m.
Ria Jarawalo, branch manager at the Mount Healthy Branch Library, told the Mt. Healthy City Council during public comment about recent and upcoming programming, partnerships and public-safety measures.
Jarawalo said the library's youth and teen services recently hosted second-grade classes from South Elementary for story time and library-card signups, and that the youth librarian collaborated on Black History Month programming. She described a February martial-arts demonstration for teen customers and listed upcoming events: a talk by a Cincinnati Museum Center speaker on King Records and Herzog Studios next Tuesday at noon, and a tenants-rights session presented by the Brighton Center rescheduled for Tuesday, April 7 at noon.
On safety, Jarawalo said the library continues to collaborate with the Mount Healthy Police Department, with officers providing a police detail Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. In response to a council question about earmarked funds for the library, Jarawalo said she is "still working on it" and will follow up.
Why it matters: The library's programs connect schools and families to local services and cultural resources, and the added police detail is intended to maintain a safe environment for patrons during high-traffic hours.
Next steps: Jarawalo invited council and residents to attend upcoming programs and to follow up with library staff for more information after the meeting.
