    THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE 2018 Report to the Community THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE THE LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE HAS LONG STOOD AS SYMBOL FOR CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY’S VISION. The design appears in a delicately leaded insert in the glass over the Main Library entrance, carved in marble over the doors leading to Brett Hall, and in tile in the lending area of the Louis Stokes Wing. This motif signals the Library’s efforts to empower the public through free and open access to information and resources, a commitment that has been part of our foundation since 1869. This 2018 Report to the Community shares the work Cleveland Public Library has done this year to ensure the Lamp of Knowledge only grows brighter in the years to come. Our Mission: We are The People’s University, the center of learning for a diverse and inclusive community. Our Vision: Cleveland Public Library will be the driving force behind a powerful culture of learning that will inspire Clevelanders from all walks of life to continually learn, share, and seek out new knowledge in ways that are beneficial to themselves, their community, and the world. MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR A Brilliant Future In 2018, Cleveland Public Library enjoyed an exciting and successful year. We reopened the historic South Branch after a major restoration and preservation process, an initiative that illuminates our larger commitment to breathing new life into all our branch libraries in the coming years.

This thesis attempts to explore how the two systems co-exist in a somewhat overlapping geographic area, and will explore the complementary nature of the two organizations. The role of public libraries, specifically in Ohio, is also an important part of this project, as well as how the current economy is affecting public libraries as a whole. A literature review and a survey of a small number of Cuyahoga County library users provide additional context and original research for this thesis. A recommendation is made based on these factors. iii Table of Contents Abstract iii Contents iv List of Figures vi Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Cuyahoga County vs. City of Cleveland Demographics 4 Chapter Three: Why Study Libraries in the First Place? 7 Chapter Four: Rationale 10 Chapter Five: Methodology 11 Chapter Six: Ohio’s Library Systems 12 Section 6.1: Ohio is No.
