CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Most government offices -- including Cuyahoga County offices, city halls and courthouses -- will close Monday, Jan. 18, for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Schools will be closed. The U.S. Postal Service will not deliver mail, and post offices will be closed. Most banks will be closed.

Some municipalities are delaying trash pick-up. Check with your city or provider.

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will run on its normal weekday schedule.

If you're among the nearly 40 percent of Americans that have the day off, you can head to branches of the Cuyahoga County Public Library.

(Not the Cleveland Public Library, though, since those branches are closed.)

You can also take advantage of deals at Cleveland-area museums:

free 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
