| - As a librarian (of the non-public-variety), I am a huge library advocate, and I can say without hesitation that CH-UH is the cream of the crop. The main library, which is the branch I frequent, is a major hub of activity for the neighborhood, boasting a large AV collection (let's go down to the library and rent us up some movies), a teen room (soundproofed) and excellent collections of books. Yes, books! CH-UH is part of the Clevnet consortium, too, so if they don't have something you want on-site, it's pretty easy to get it from another library in the system, and fairly quickly to boot.
The library system recently started to lend Kindles and other eReaders, an innovative program I'm pretty curious about myself. I think there are also toy-lending programs for kids and other special lending programs. Heights Libraries have really done a good job of changing with the times and adapting to the community's needs.
There are two lots for the library: one behind the main library building on the east side of Lee and another behind the old Y annex (where Dobama theater is housed) on the west side. On any given weekend day the main lot is usually jam-packed, which is a testament to how much Heights residents love their library.
