The orientation takes about a half hour. We go through what all the equipment is and then those people come in during the week to use the equipment. The staff is available to help them. 2. Anew series designed for Seniors. I can't tell you how many of our seniors have said to us over the years, boy I wish I could have come to that but it was at night and I don't go out at night. We have now, on the second Tuesday of the month at 2:00 p.in., a program each month for seniors. This November is the Perils of the Presidency and December 13`'' we are going to do The Golden Age of Shopping in Cleveland. Seniors are invited and so is anybody else who happens to be available at that time. 3. The new CCPL App is available both from the Apple App store and also from the Google playstore. On this new app, you can search our catalog for books, magazines, movies, music and more. You can download e-books, audiobooks and magazines. You can use the My Account to look at your checkout for items on hold, to renew your items or to pay fines. You can even stream movies, music and comic books. It's all in one. It's 24/7, 365 access to the Library. Those are my three points. Again thank you for inviting me tonight. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Anyone else want to stand up for public comment? State your name and address for the record please. Marge Eisenberg 6783 Seneca My question is directed to Chief Edelman. Why do we have a 2-hour parking ban over at Progressive and why do we charge them $5 if they overstay their welcome? Chief Edelman replied, the 2-hour window for parking is to keep the Progressive employees from blocking the parking areas so that the people that are there to play soccer can park along the street there. That's why we initiated that parking ban there. Mrs. Eisenberg asked, they play soccer during the week? I thought they played soccer during the weekend? Mr. Thomas replied, during the summer months we have uses during the day. Primarily it's in the summertime that we use it during the day. Mr. Eisenberg stated, the employees do not like us very much. Mr. Thomas stated, in the evening during school, we are using that. Employees are working there all sorts of hours. We do not want Progressive employees parking on North Commons Boulevard. Chief Edelman stated, the employees were told by Progressive management that they have to park on the property. There is no shortage of parking on Progressive property.
