Living in the West Side of Lakewood, I have Lakewood Library and Rocky River Library equal distance from me in opposite directions. Being laid off from work I frequented the library to work with my laptop on jobs applications and get out of the house. Lakewood Library is huge, clean and plenty of areas to find a spot to work. I've also found great books and movies to rent out. My MAJOR complaint like many others is the 'no food or drink policy'. If I am going to be in the library working all day, I'm sure I can handle not spilling my cup of coffee or drinking from my water bottle that is actually spill proof?! Rent from this library but don't sit and work here all day. Rocky River openly allows drinks and are very welcoming.
