📖 About Memorial-Nottingham Branch
The Memorial-Nottingham Branch occupies the former Villa Angela Academy building, which Cleveland Public Library acquired in 1991 and reconfigured into a library. Richard Fleischman Architects reworked the 15,625-square-foot high school into public library space on Lake Shore Boulevard in the North Collinwood neighborhood. The branch serves the Collinwood and Euclid communities and sits near the historic Euclid Beach Park and Wildwood Park along Lake Erie. Beyond books, movies and free WiFi, the greater facility at this address also houses the Ohio Library for the Blind and Print Disabled and off-site book storage. Plentiful free parking is available on site, and the branch is reachable on RTA bus route 10.
