Book shelves look more organized there is a nice kid section with stairs that's take you to a "treetop" sitting area upstairs. There is a community room that hold certain activities and events. There is some seating in designated areas. There is even a cute fireplace in the room I'm sitting in with tables and comfy chairs. There is a "study area" for school kids. This is the downside. The middle school is right across the street so kids come over after school and wait for their parents to come pick them up. Kids can be loud and abnoxious, talking loudly about alcohol and drugs. *rolls eyes* I know I've been that age before but it's distracting and hard to concentrate on work or reading.. the staff is pleasant and available to help you. I like to come here alot with my laptop and coffee for a nice place other than my house to work and study or just play on my phone. It's a change of scenery and plenty of brightness. It's convenient but could use some help for relieving new books. They can be hard to locate here if there are any. I just like coming here since it's pretty clean and close by.

This place is basically the reason I am a literate adult, hold an MLIS, and had any perspective on the outside world as a child. The collection was old and small. The old building was pretty majestic - a real historic landmark - and I'll never quite forgive them for moving locations. New is not always better. The librarians knew me well. I used to BEG my mom to take us here when we were kids. Not to the movies, not to the mall...to the library. The magic place where I could get BOOKS for FREE. As an adult, I've sought refuge here when visiting the fam as it is probably the only place in Ashtabula County with wireless internet. The best memories of my childhood by far are of the GPL.

They recently installed a brand new carpet that takes has a print on it like a gravel road that you can follow through the section. They even cut out walk-through book shelves so that the books interact with the carpet. Oh and don't forget the puppet section - put on a show with all their fun and lively puppets! They also have a pet fat tailed leopard gecko that you can ask to hold. It is 10 years old and is as sweet as can be. For the library it self they have a large variety of every type of book you may want, including audio books as well. Since it is also part of the Cleveland Public Library, if you don't see the one you are looking for, they can bring it in from another library for you. I highly recommend this library to everyone and their families. Not a huge reader? Just go and check out the garden area and the history of the building!

They were all very friendly. If you are going for reading material the CPL collection seemed enormous.

Cleveland Public Library in downtown Cleveland is a grandeur architectural gem. I have visited this…read morelibrary multiple times, always enjoy being surrounded by so much history (building circa 1925), ornate architecture, and literary talent. I highly recommend a visit whether you're Cleveland resident or a tourist. COLLECTION: The building contains three floors accessible by the grand staircase or elevator. The first floor contains Brett Memorial Hall, special exhibits, popular literature, and checkout counter. You will bring all your book and miscellaneous finds for checkout on the first floor. The second floor contains literature and Ohio Center for the Book. The third floor houses special collections, fine arts, and Cleveland Digital Public Library. The fourth floor has international language collection, youth services, and art lab. INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION: My favorite collection is the international language collection. It's the most impressive international language collection among all international collections at local libraries. This floor features art gallery, Chinese corner, DVDs from around the world, English as Second Language collection, international magazines, language-learning materials, and Native American language materials. If you're learning a new language or miss your own native language, the library is an excellent resource. The collection is continuously growing and has a lot of modern popular finds. For instance, I was able to find shelves upon shelves of Russian books and movies. Some were even relevant to the season - New Year Eve thrillers, Christmas cook books, and more. I get very excited looking for books in my native language here. EXHIBITS: The library has multiple current exhibits. Few prominent exhibits are currently available throughout the museum - Relay Cleveland, The Superman Homecoming, and A Century in Sugar: Gingerbread Tribute. Relay Cleveland features African American History and Culture. The Superman Homecoming ties together the city's history and Superman. A Century in Sugar features Sarah Wagner's sweet replica of the library built using gingerbread. It's impressive and ornate. The latter will be on exhibit through December 31, 2025. All of these exhibits really adds to the experience and position the library as the community hub. Exhibits are free and readily accessible. SERVICE: All librarians at the library are very pleasant. They offer assistance and warmly help. They are very pleasant to interact with. At checkout you can even get a bag for your checked out items. GARDEN: The library has a spacious outdoor reading garden. Some local literary groups even host events at this location. It's perfect for summertime reading in the heart of the city. PARKING: No parking is available onsite. However, you'll find plenty of nearby lots and some street parking. EVENTS: The library has a seasonally busy event calendar. I was lucky to attend a few musical events in this space and was very impressed. The acoustics are excellent. BOOKSTORE: The library has a small cart inside on the first floor with limited books and DVD's on sale. If you are in a shopping mood, cross the street and visit the affiliated bookstore. Please not that it has different hours than the library. I highly recommend a visit to the library especially if you're looking for international literature. I can't wait to read my books in my native language. I checked out some New Year Eve thrillers and hope that they'll elevate my festive spirit. Visit this place for gorgeous architecture, impressive exhibits, literary gems, and so much history.

I was kindly shown (given a tour) around the library by a staff member as it was my first time inside. So, customer service was good. The person who showed me around happened to be a security guard. I don't live in that neighbourhood so it was nice to visit a different library for a change. BOOKS AND MORE: They have a solid collection of books and research materials. If there is a book that you can't find on the online database or in person, you can ask a staff member to see if another location has the book you're looking for. They also have computers available for use. If you haven't visited any of the CPL locations then this one is good as I had a good experience here. I also highly recommend the main library location downtown which is pretty much like a museum.
