Tell us where it is again please! Can we use a library card from the Clayton library or will we need to get one just for Cleveland? Thanks!
I can't answer the library card portion of your question, but I do know where it is. If you're in the Peddlers Village shopping strip on 42, drive towards the Bojangles, and then turn right at the end of the strip of stores, go around the back and to your right and it is straight ahead.
Cleveland Library issues its own cards-not taxpayer funded The county's participating and sharing libraries are taxpayer funded, which is one of the criteria for using the common county name and for sharing the book courier service between locations. The Cleveland Library was started, because there were no plans or money to provide Cleveland with a standing library and because the county is below the low, but accepted, norm for North Carolina of 2 books per resident. Due to rapid population growth, the border area of Wake/Johnston is well below the book norm. After working for two years, we have the books here, which will also put the county over the norm, at least until higher census figures are released. The problem with giving Cleveland 100,000 books is that Cleveland has no place to put them all and no paid staff to process them. We do not have enough volunteers to handle them with the speed we bring them in. By August 4, we will have provided 100,000 books for Cleveland, with the annual state standard purge providing free and low cost books for the county's children. Because we have not been able to place them or sell them to pay the rent, we accepted an offer to start Amazon sales. Yes, we really do offer more than 10,000 items in our clearance sale, which is every DRY time we are open - 32 hours a week. I had to wring a book out like a wet wash cloth Saturday, because a donor left it in the rain. Many books, records, and games are 90% off the retail. It also takes a great deal of our space. 7,500 different titles are shelved in the beach book room with a backstock of about 10,000 (est.). All 14,000 children's books are displayed. We processed 500 adult non-fiction to the shelves last week. The adult fiction room has been closed and delayed from June through at least early August due to Sears' policy against replacing a new but damaged in the box air conditioner and Sears inability to get parts delivered and installed. It will take several thousand dollars to complete the installation and renovation, but it will open up another 9-12,000 books for our patrons.
