A Feast for the Eyes:

       I love to walk the marble halls of the Cleveland Public Library.  
     (@Cleveland_PL). It's one of Cleveland's most amazing spaces.

  The beautiful Beaux Arts facility is 
     a great place to write, 
            do research
                      or just relax with a good book.

    Of course CPL has computers galore, 
   but it's the old-world touches that
   draw me, such as...

Terrestrial Globe & Lamp of Knowledge window.
      ​The artwork...     ​

"Early Transportation" mural by Donald Baynard 1934

And of course, the books!   

 Now, if that's not enough, the CPL offers special exhibits too.
   
Most recently...
​ The Illustrated Book: A History

     The children's room at the Cleveland Public Library's main branch used to be known as The Lewis Carroll Room. 
   The library also has a small exhibit commemorating the Alice books.
