James A. Garfield National Historic Site - Winter Bedroom in Garfield House at Garfield National Historic Site

James A. Garfield National Historic Site

(34 reviews)

I confess I knew almost nothing about our 20th president, James A. Garfield. Today, thanks to a…read morewonderful tour provided by Victor, a ranger with the National Park Service, I can now not only say that I know much more about him, but also that I would have voted for him as well. I learned a lot about politics in the late 1800's. Things have certainly changed. The James A Garfield National Historic Site is a treasure trove of history. The home is fabulous. Thanks to a generous 1934 gift from the Garfield children to the Western Reserve Historical Society, we can see the home as it looked when the Garfields lived there, complete with original furnishings and artwork. Transferred in 1980 to the National Park Service, we now can all enjoy this amazing home and its history by taking a tour. Lucretia Garfield was an extraordinary woman ahead of her time. After her husband was assassinated, she created a memorial library in the home, to preserve his books and presidential papers. The library included a fireproof vault to protect important documents. I loved the architectural details, coordinating wall paper, light fixtures, and the thoughtful touches that turned the lovely house into a home. I'd have happily paid for this excellent tour, but it was FREE. Honestly, I could go on and on. Definitely RECOMMENDED!

This is a wonderful property. You enter at the visitors center which has a museum with lots of…read moreinformation. It is presented in multiple formats including a braille guide. Its a great place to wait for your tour to begin. One of the rangers will take you through the house and our guide was fantastic! We learned so much and really enjoyed our visit to this property.

Morley Library - Kids reading area

Beautiful library in downtown Painesville. They have a small parking lot but the library is really…read morenice inside, especially the kids section. The staff are really nice and helpful. It's a great place to bring kids to help develop the love of reading. The adult section is pretty good also.

Written as a medical student looking for a quiet study space:…read more I want to give this place 4 stars, I really do. The building is gorgeous! It has a quiet study area that's entirely enclosed! It is bright and airy and has convenient rest rooms! But I just can't. The quiet study room is a glassed in room with cubicles around the edge, it is pretty quiet. A great number of homeless people come to this library to charge their phones, warm up, hang out, Etc. Yes, they have just as much a right as anyone else to use the library. However what I saw was them come in with their belongings in garbage bags and carrying sleeping bags. I was studying in the quiet room, over the course of the day homeless patrons came in and due to the small poorly ventilated enclosure I had to leave the study room. To be honest, they were fragrant. But also they are using the outlets to charge their phones, text, and sat around reading comics. It's a bit distracting. I sat at a table outside the study room and find that there are rules glued to all the outlets, that they are only for laptops and a bunch of things not to do. Just as there was in the study room. This library runs a tight ship, but it seems it is because they deal with some rift-raft. The homeless gentlemen in the study room were courteous enough, quiet enough. However the reason I will not be coming back to this library is that when I went to study outside the quiet room on the third floor I was the source of many stares from men. It was incredibly uncomfortable. I was dressed very conservatively but I was stared at almost endlessly by men and they did not feel like friendly stares. Maybe there's a nice kids area- I don't know. But as a single female in her 20s looking for somewhere to study, I don't think I will be back.

Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library System

One of my very first childhood memories is of my dad taking me to the Willowick Public Library when…read moreI was 5 years old. I even remember the two books I took out: one on volcanos and Green Eggs and Ham. Thus my love affair of the written word began. I grew up going to this library every 2 weeks for as long as I can remember. Mrs. Ferguson, the children's librarian, was my best friend. Whenever new books would come in, she would put them aside and save them for me so I would be the first one to read them. As I got older and my tastes changed, I still would go to her for suggestions. My first job at the age of 16 was as a page at this library. There are 3 libraries within this system: Willowick, Eastlake, and Willoughby. Willowick is my favorite. The circculation ladies all know me by name, and always greet me with a smile when I come in. The thing I love about this place is that it's connected to CPL and Clevnet, which means I can get pretty much whatever I want, delivered to my library of choice, within 3-5 days. DVD's, CD's, ebooks, everything under the sun. The Willowick Library, in particular, is extremely organized and friendly. Plenty of computers to use, helpful reference staff, and a nice sized parking lot. It's close enough to my place of employment that I can go there on my lunch break and pick up the materials that I've ordered. Their website is easy to naviagte and connects to the main catalog at CPL. They email you when your stuff has arrive, and then email you two days before it's due. This place gets two thumbs up from this bodacious bibliophile!
