The title points to the Cleveland Public Library, a municipal system that grew out of the late nineteenth-century movement to give city residents free access to books and newspapers. Its central building on Superior Avenue, completed in the 1920s in the Beaux-Arts style, became one of the landmarks of downtown Cleveland. Libraries like this were often built as civic showpieces, meant to signal that learning was open to everyone, and that idea is worth keeping in mind when looking at the image.
