Keep Learning With Us
As a leading educational institution, we are exploring ways CMC can continue to be a resource for you and your students. We are creating virtual learning opportunities and online resources – including exhibits, videos, blogs, curator interviews and activities – to help students keep their minds active during school closure.
We would like to hear from you. How can we support your instruction and your students’ learning during this time? If you have questions or suggestions, please add them here.

A New Kind of Storytime with The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County
Sometimes young children ask questions that are hard to answer. And it's best to answer their questions with words they understand. That’s why The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County put together a new Storytime at Home series, Important Conversations. These are available on-demand, 24/7 and address topics such as conflict, illness, race and more.
