Browse the Cleveland Public Library Special Collections
A Shangri-La for both bookworms and history buffs, the library's third floor special collections room holds 100,000 books, prints, chess sets and artifacts. You'll want to bring your magnifying glass, because for the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's death, the library is exhibiting a strand of the 16th president's hair through May 30. Bonus: Leaf through a collection of Harvey Pekar's American Splendor in its original, comic book form. 325 Superior Ave., Cleveland, 216-623-2818, cpl.org
