The Cleveland Public Library is more than a repository of books; it is the "People's University," fostering a diverse and inclusive community through learning, art, and history.

The Library is embarking on a major Facilities Master Plan to build, renovate, and modernize neighborhood branches, including the West Park and Hough branches, reflecting a commitment to community growth.

Through dynamic art exhibits, the Library explores themes of democracy, Black culture, and history, inspiring thought and conversation. Furthermore, the Library offers vital programs, including a Virtual Reference Library and safe classroom settings for students participating in online learning. Services also extend to the Ohio Library for the Blind & Physically Disabled and local arts initiatives like Maker Faire Cleveland.
