About the branch

CCPL’s popular toy collection got its start as a special collection located in the Brooklyn Branch. The collection was housed exclusively at the Brooklyn Branch from 1992 until 2007, when access was expanded throughout the county. Today, anyone with a CCPL library card can request toys from the collection and have them delivered to the CCPL branch of their choice for pick-up.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
