This year marks the 85th anniversary of the creation of Superman in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Rust Belt Humanities Lab at Ursuline College and the Ohio Center for the Book at Cleveland Public Library are hosting a celebration: Superman’s Cleveland: Lineage and
Legacy. From September 6 through November 2, more than 20 events are planned across the greater Cleveland area for all ages, including comics fans, families, scholars, history buffs, and lovers of popular culture. A schedule of events and full details are

<div class="ContentPasted0">All are invited to attend any or all of the events planned! However, if you can't make it to Northeast Ohio, we're encouraging libraries around the state to join us by holding a public event to celebrate the lineage and legacy of
Superman, superheroes, or comics in Ohio, from September through November. While we can't provide local funding, we'd be glad to add your event to our affiliated events page on the website. Email ohiocenterforthebook@cpl.org with the subject line "Local Superman
event" with details! Superman is Ohio's superhero!</div>
