This was the second-closest branch library to my house when I lived in Cleveland. It generally…read morewasn't worth it to come here, as both the Carnegie West Branch and the main library were physically closer. Still, after I got sick of the staff and patrons of Carnegie West and didn't feel like going towards downtown, I would sometimes come here. Their actual selection is limited, but it's an OK place to read a book. If I wanted to use a computer, though, I would just stay on the 326 and head all the way to the Lakewood Library. It was a hike, but that computer lab was kind of a mecca when email was my main connection to people back home.

I visited this Cleveland Public Library location (South Branch) in mid-March 2026. I was waiting to…read moremeet my friends at a coffee shop and I had some time to kill so I quickly stopped in here because I needed to scan some documents. FREE PRINTING AND SCANNING -- I needed to scan a few pages so I walked in and got help. Someone at the front desk led me to a printer and showed me how to scan my document(s). I believe I scanned more than 1 page and it was quick and easy. He also told me that the library offers free printing every day to library card holders up to a certain dollar amount (I think $2.50/day worth). The library is small but seemed to have a nice selection of books. While I didn't have time to browse through books, I did notice the selection of books when I walked in. Parking can be tight but I found street parking on a side street by some houses. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 20/250 total reviews in 2026 - 861 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 13 April 2026

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.

The entryway is a disaster- there is a huge vestibule with an automatic door only wide enough for one person to enter through. The flooring in there is also very loud. I love our community- Brook Park feels like a throwback to me... and I feel like the design of the library doesn't fit it. I liked it as it was. Call me crazy. (no, don't....)
