Have used this library as my home library for the last 40 years. It has kept up with the times by educating their staff so they are savvy in aiding the public in so many topics. They have areas dedicated to different age groups and tastes so that this branch is inviting to all ages. I rate this branch A+.
Really a mis-spending of taxpayers money. Always over-staffed. Sometimes there are more people working there than customers. They are paying some people $35/hr to do basically child care work.People are on cell phones ringing away. People eat greasy chips at the computers.The workers dont even notice what is going on and choose to ignore it. They leave the management up to the patrons and do nothing unless it is brought up to them. Most of the workers surf about 1/2 the time and shop on line and prepare their resumes and text from their laps. They know very little about technology or computers or the internet. I have been trying to figure out exactly WHAT they do know.They need to hire tech savvy people.They do not have a complaint system (no wonder!). None of the workers have name tags or any way to identify them. So if one of the workers is not behaving well there is no way to report them. Even at Walmart a person can complain about the service.Most of the jobs could be done by volunteers and/or minimum wage workers.But the pay range is from $20 to $40 per hour.Most of the circulation are DVDs like Legally Blonde. I read that is costs $500 per year per patron so a person could just about afford their own internet and book club for what it costs.It is really a sham to benefit the workers and not the taxpayers

2022-05-03Definitely going to give this a five star review. Im giving this is a five star review just because the place is absolutely amazing!!! The layout and the feel of this particular library is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Also the staff are very friendly and helpful as well. Everything is so easy to find and organized. Also very clean. The thing I absolutely love about this building they have multiple floors and bathrooms on each floor too. Another thing if you need to get online to search something or look something up bam no problem. They have computers everywhere along with wi-fi. One more thing if theres a line to checkout items not a problem!!! They also have a self checkout where you you check out the items yourself.

2019-06-27Fairview has a nice little branch of the library. The DVD selection is especially good, and the book selection is decent. Of course, the entire Cuyahoga County branch has pretty much anything you could want so you can always request it. The staff are helpful and cheery, and the environment is nice and serene.

2022-01-17I requested curbside pickup on a book online and didn’t realize it takes a day for the book to be ready for pick up. The librarians were so nice and still brought my book to me. So nice, excellent customer service. Thank you!

2021-12-01I have to say going to this library has never been a problem and the staff is always helpful. However, tonight I was treated so rudely by Colin M. Makes me never wanna go back there.

2020-11-03This is a fantastic building. Love the design, inside and out. Just went there to vote most recently and the setup was great. In and out with no issues. Kids have gone there a few times and they love it.

2018-01-17The library itself is very nice but unfortunately it is very loud inside due to the way the layout is set up. They have study rooms but- as most places- there is a time limit on how long you can stay in them and because it is right near a few different schools, it tends to get busy in there around the time that school lets out. Most of the staff that works there is friendly but there is definitely a good handful of staff that works there that are not very nice.
