Lorain Public Library Main is located in downtown Lorain. The library website has an easy directory…read moreof all libraries in the Lorain Library system. The library is part of CLEVNET so you can use your card from other libraries in the library network to check out library books and materials. I found this very convenient when I spontaneously decided to check out a few books that my book clubs are reading! AMENITIES: The library is fairly small and has two floors. There is a room with public computers downstairs and photocopiers. Also, four meeting rooms (downstairs and upstairs) and Toni Morrison Reading Room. The Culinary Literacy Center is located on the second floor and provides a demo kitchen. Convenient outdoor hold lockers are available for book pickup after hours. The library offers passport services, and voter registration.  COLLECTION: The collection is fairly small and occupies the first floor of the library. The collection includes books, DVDs, audiobooks, and CDs available from the library and CLEVNET catalog. On the plus side, the collection is very easy to navigate. Teens and kids areas are clearly labeled. New books are displayed at the front for easy navigation. The library will provide plastic bags if you need to carry away your exciting finds. SERVICE: The librarians are very friendly. When I asked about certain section's location, the librarian walked me over to the correct section and suggested other books. It was very sweet and attentive. FRIENDS BOOK SALES: Friends book sale was in full swing during my visit. The materials were very budget-friendly - 50 cents for adult books, 25 cents for paperbacks, 50 cents for CDs, 25 cents for music cassettes. Better yet, the prices reduced over the sale period down to a nickel! The collection was extensive but books were mostly older published books. In fact, the collection occupied the entire second floor. I only spent $1 and purchased two books. One book was Freida McFadden's Do You Remember? which is my favorite of hers. The second was a book of canning recipes! I am attaching a list of upcoming events to my review. EVENTS: This library location hosts very fun events! I attended a concert of Duo Balalaika's Oleg Kruglyakov that provided excellent cultural immersion, lovely music, and nostalgic feel. The event was hosted on the second floor in a comfy conference room. I look forward to my next visit to this library and others in the Lorain Public Library System (LPLS). It seems like the libraries in this system have some cooking events. I look forward to attending one of them very soon!

We don't drink so we used our voucher for a glass of grape juice that was incredibly delicious. They offer 2 types of grape juice - either grape or white. Both were very good but I did like the grape juice better.
