Meeting Spaces For Those Who Need It

An often overlooked attribute of the Library is the availability of its meeting rooms for organizations, businesses, political and community groups in need of cost-effective space. In 2010, an average of 23 groups per month met at the Main Library alone. Meeting rooms in neighborhood branches also provided free space for non-profit community groups to convene, functioning as valuable community resources.

Space is available for even larger events, with the Louis Stokes Wing auditorium and the Lake Shore Facility auditorium seating 300 and 700 people respectively. Overflow rooms provide closed-caption viewing for even larger audiences.
