This is by far my favorite branch of the Cleveland Public Library system.
Pros:
- Open until 9pm on weekdays
- Many study rooms (reservable for up to two hours)
- Beautiful building
- Wonderful, safe location
- Right by many businesses on Lee road
- Self-checkout
- Self-service hold pickup (alphabetized bins)
- Free wifi
- Many employees around to help of needed
- Many other etc.
- Open on Sundays
Cons:
- Ummm
- Closes at 5 on Sat and Sun
- That's about it.
I love coming here to study. There seems to be plenty of areas to sit down and study for hours on end. The reservable private study rooms are often available and perfect.
The book selection seems good, but I never just browse at a library. When I check out books it's because I placed a hold online and then I go to the branch to pick it up. I usually know exactly what book I want so I just use the Clevnet app and place the hold.
I used to go to the Rice branch because it's about 1 mile closer to my house. This location with all of its great features more than makes up for that difference.
