The Cleveland Public Library's North Olmsted branch is a gem for the community - a calm, welcoming…read morespace. Let's start with tranquil parts of the library. The library has a Reading Fountain! You can sit there with your book and unwind, how amazing! There is also a lovely outdoor area with a mini alley that also just offers serene place to sit with your books. The facility is bright, clean, and thoughtfully organized, with plenty of comfortable seating and quiet corners perfect for reading or studying. I have to say that the library is small but very well designed and separated into - Children, Teens, Adults, and so on offering something unique to each group. The staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, ready to assist with finding materials or using library services. I interacted with one of their programs (culinary - pierogi making), librarians (to sign up for a program), and circulation desk (to get a library card). All were cordial and pleasant to chat with. Their collection is well-curated, with a solid range of books, media, and digital resources, and the technology offerings - like public computers and Wi-Fi are reliable and easy to access. They have a lot of international literature gems and international cookbooks. They have new books like Onyx Storm! The reads are easily found upfront. They have a huge area for large print books (event Fourth Wing). There's a big section for audio books. This library is super easy to navigate in terms of sections. I was very pleasantly surprised by all the choices. This library has a lot of very cool programs. I attended pierogi making class. My next endeavor is Dinner & A Book where we read a book and meet at a local restaurant to discuss. The read for next month is based locally (Fairview Park). This program seems to set this library apart. It's an amazing way to support local restaurants and have a local book club. I was super excited about it! If you're signing up for any programs, start early! They fill up fast. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, resource-rich environment to read, learn, or simply recharge. It's a very tranquil branch with amazing offerings.

North Olmsted library is just alright for me. I mainly go to the library to study and they only…read morehave about three good study rooms which are always taken. And don't even think about going when high school lets out, because those kids are LOUD. I feel like an old crazy lady, but I swear to God that's what the LSAT does to you... I would much rather go to Westlake, it's only about a 5 min drive down Dover Rd. and you have much more space to study. The people at Westlake are nicer too. At North Olmsted, you can only do the self checkout and if you need help, the ladies behind the desk (who are getting paid to do nothing) really don't want to help you. I forgot my password the one day and the lady wouldn't even let me take out a book! Westlake Porter has so much more to offer, go there instead for some quiet study time.

I come here many times now to work on one of their many tables…read more They have 2 floors and the second floor has all the tables and chairs to work or study from. The 1st floor is the children's wing plus there are comfortable sofa chairs to sit on too. The 2nd floor has computers and printers to use. I think that there is also a meeting room in the basement. I haven't checked out any books from this library but they have plenty to choose from. I'll certainly be back and maybe this time, I'll browse the book shelves. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 14/365 total reviews in 2025 - 795 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

Updated discovery lab…read more This was my first time back with the kids to view the redesigned discovery lab and it was awesome! I enjoyed how it wasn't sectioned off by age so all the kids could play together and easier to watch as a parent. Lots of activities and interactive games. The kids were easily entertained.

There's also a big conference room available to reserve for meetings and what have you. They have a private study room if you need a quiet place to prepare for exams too. They have an amazing selection of Blu-rays, DVDs, and even video games! They have Wii, Wii U, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games. I haven't seen any Nintendo Switch games yet though. Lately I've been taking advantage of their TV series DVDs. It's nice to finally be able to binge watch Breaking Bad! The Sopranos or Game of Thrones is probably next! There's 6 public computers available for internet browsing or working in MS Office and it's only 10 cents per page to print in black and white. Double-sided pages are 15 cents. The librarians and staff have been always friendly and always willing to help. If you put items on hold, they keep them on a separate shelf and they're arranged by last name. That makes it easy to grab and go! Check out is quick and easy. You can use one of the two check out machines or just go to the desk and have one of the ladies assist you. Books. Check 'em out!

THE BEST LIBRARY!!!…read more I visited the Bay Village library for the first time in early May 2026. The two-story library is a beautiful gray and white colour on the outside and has a rooftop patio. It's a very beautiful library that still looks and feels brand new as it was built 4 years ago in 2022, opening on April 30th of that year. This review is being written in Spring 2026 so ignore the old reviews because the library is different now. The library is no longer at a school and it is now next to Cahoon Memorial Park. The staff I encountered were friendly and helpful in directing me to seats upstairs. BOOKS -- Plenty of books to choose from ranging from children's, young adults, and adults. As I walked in, I noticed a book that I would love to read and I browsed it for about a minute. I didn't borrow any books for my first visit because I have many books at home that I still need to read. I also visited the library not to browse books but I came to do some things on my personal laptop. I'm excited to borrow books here soon. TABLES/CHAIRS -- There are lots of spots to sit down to read or work on a laptop. I found a table and chair upstairs that had plenty of outlets to choose from to plug in my laptop. There is a quiet study room upstairs with a door. There is a balcony/terrace upstairs that has tables and chairs which is perfect so it at during the nice summer months. Downstairs has tables and chairs plus a few comfortable sofa's. Elevators are available for those who need them but there are stairs as well. I can't wait to visit again to check out a book or two. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 73/250 total reviews in 2026 - 914 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 May 2026

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....)
