Cleveland Public Library

My goodness, I've never seen a bigger library in my entire lifetime. This main branch has two buildings: the regular portion filled with fiction and non-fiction pieces and the recent Louis Stokes wing, which contains all scientific books, journals, and magazines for each field (psychology, chemistry, biology, etc.) The buildings have at least ten floors, all packed to the brim with books. They stock multiple copies of their materials so you have a better chance of getting a copy. They keep VERY current with books and always get the latest releases. I've honestly never seen so many books - I could spend my whole lifetime there (from age 21 on), and only get through 1/30 of it, no lies. The courtyard outside is nice to enjoy a book or magazine. What a great place. more

Cleveland Public Library offers so much to the residents of northeast Ohio. We have both the county and Cleveland library here. For someone not to take advantage of either is unfortunate. The library has so many items and programs to educate everyone. The have reading time and incentives for children to read all year. They have books on tape, digital books, DVDs, films, etc. You can lose yourself and let your imagination wander in all of the material. more
