3 ABOUT THE EUCLID PUBLIC LIBRARY The Euclid Public Library is situated along E. 222nd Street, along with several other civic institutions that serve the city of Euclid. The library is sited just south of City Hall and is adjacent to the Euclid Memorial Park to the east. Due to post-war population growth, the library underwent a series of additions that expanded the original 1958 footprint of the facility. With the site’s tight boundaries, dedicated library parking is limited, though a municipal lot directly north is accessible to patrons. The library entrance is accessed from the small lot towards the east of the site with a pedestrian access from E. 222nd Street consisting of a walk along the front of the building to this lone entry point. The building is single-story with a footprint of approximately 48,000 square feet. The building consists of public meeting rooms, library staff offices, storage, reading areas, dedicated children’s area, and book stacks/storage. A drive-up book drop-off location is located on the eastern exterior face of the building while a walk-up version is located near the main entrance. The exterior is clad in masonry with large storefront windows, featuring several “pop-ups” along the roof - including a large clock tower. Photo 1 Location Map
