My organization hosted a training here,…read moreand the next day we were called by Rob Liste, who, like the snob that he is, proceeded to explain that we left the room in disarray. Yes, disarray. Direct quote. There were crumbs on the ground and table. ***Clutching my pearls*** Mind you, we cleaned up everything we brought with us, we put every table and chair exactly where it was when we first entered the space. We wiped down the tables with what little cleaning supplies we had. We were not provided with a vacuum or even wipes, so I'm not sure how we could have cleaned crumbs from the floor. Rob then proceeded to say that he was charging a $25 cleaning fee that would need to be paid prior our next training. I used to use this library all the time, and I will never step foot into this shithole ever again due to the way that myself and my organization were treated by Rob Liste. Fuck this library.

Not very comfortable seating. I also wonder if they had handicapped people in mind when they came up with this new look-i DON'T think so. I go out of my way to go to the older libraries! Howland, & Cortland. They may be smaller, but I need a warm feeling environment to sit in a library-NOT a cold feeling, bright area. That's just me.

A Beaux-Arts style building with Greek and Roman themes memorializing President Wm McKinley on the site of the school where he started his education. The marble statue of McKinley stands in the center, surrounded by busts of the influential of the period. One side of the building houses the Niles Public Library, and the other side is a small museum and auditorium. A passionate museum docent met me at the locked door and recited an amazing amount of McKinley history. I mean she really was good. The museum displays were a little sparse, but I was impressed with a hand painted flag as well as a carved wooden book cover from China that contained a letter to President McKinley embroidered on silk. Major donors to the memorial are recognized by busts in the auditorium and the library. Notable names include Andrew Carnegie, who contributed to the library, and Joseph Butler, the founder of the Butler Institute of American Art, the first museum of American art. You never know what you might learn when you stop to investigate.

That's beyond the scope of this review, though. I stopped into the library to see the opening of the exhibit commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Cavs' NBA Championship. I left after a four hour visit that included: -an escape room with a magnet as the prize -a scavenger hunt with a free t-shirt at the end -seeing the exhibit (which also included the Calder cup!) -meeting two artists who did artwork for the exhibit and getting autographed posters from one -sending unlimited free postcards of the library, the exhibit, and Cleveland -multiple coloring sessions and word searches -a free lunch from a taco truck (there was also cheesesteak and egg roll options) -watching people make me a button, tote bag, key chain, sticker, and coasters -making a stress ball -decorating a cookie and also getting a cupcake to bring home -meeting moondog -seeing tons of stuff, including a chess set of salt and pepper shakers, menus from the original stouffers, and the Superman pajamas I had as a kid in the library's regular exhibits I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Anyway, they know how to throw a party.

I had forgotten how grand the library is. It is definitely a hidden gem. CPL is worth a visit for any visitor and local. The Superman exhibit was small but had many items of interest. The staff was very helpful in guiding us around the building. I really enjoyed the special collections that included menus from old Cleveland restaurants. As we walked around we spoke to staff. They were all very friendly. If you are going for reading material the CPL collection seemed enormous.

Cleveland Heights Library is a cozy library in the Cedar Lee business district. It's very…read moreconvenient to grab a coffee in the area or have a bite to eat then drop by at the library. I dropped by this afternoon to pick up and return books (so very convenient to pre-order and pickup). The library has two floors. The first floor has checkout desks and some book collections. Notable parts of the first floor are Meeting Rooms, printers, Large Print Books, and passport services (the latter super convenient). The second floor has additional book collections, reference desk, some meeting rooms, computer lab, and book shop. The book shop has cool sales every months with $5 fill the bag specials. Collections at the library are very versatile, you can find all kinds of books. The library hosts a lot of events that are accessible for booking on the library's website. The library also has onsite herb garden, which is pretty amazing. It's a wonderful space for the community. Parking is located in the back of the library with ample amount of space available. At the front there's a connecting pedestrian bridge to another parking lot. I highly recommend a visit, it's a very serene location!

However, their director, along with their Board of Directors, have some strange animosity toward the people of this village and town, and they want to close the only library that has a high rating, even by the people utilizing this website. Grossly exaggerating issues with the building, they now voted to close it and open another. The cost to open another is far more expensive than doing repairs to this building. I hope to goodness to "save the library" people fight them every step of the way. It's clear they want to sell the building to some rich developer... and harm the people of this town. Shame on PLYMC.
