I'm not sure what more you can ask for in a Public Library - the place is enormous, bright, clean and beautiful. Plenty of places to sit and work, read, and plenty of computers in the computer room to go around. With this place less than a half mile from my house and with 20 free printed pages a day with your membership, who needs a printer? Just stop by quick and print it for free at the library! Forgot your membership number or card? No worries. Show the friendly folks at the counter your ID and they'll look it up for you.
The large lofted study/work rooms really remind me of a big college library. I went to a huge school so it makes me feel at home to work in a big room full of other people working too. But if you prefer the more out of the way corner to get your study or read on, there's plenty of that here too.
I've never checked anything out from here yet but it's obvious the selection is great. There's also a whole separate kids wing sort-of right off the lobby so the kids can be a little bit loud and not bother everyone else. The only negative I can think of is that this library is independent of the larger Cuyahoga County Libary System so you'll have to get a separate membership for that if you'd like to take advantage of the inter-library loans, etc you can get from them.
Overall, an awesome asset to an even more awesome city. Just another reason to LOVE Lakewood!
