Richmond Heights Branch
The Richmond Heights Branch is the only branch in the Cuyahoga County Public Library system co-located with a school. Opened in August 2021, the branch is connected to the Richmond Heights Upper School, but has its own dedicated entrance, allowing the general public to access the branch seven days a week.
This branch is a Student Success Center and Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Cafe location.
