Morley Library

Morley Library is a three-story public library in Painesville housing a large collection for Lake County residents. The building offers both physical materials and digital resources that you can access from home as well.

The library started in 1878 as a reading room run by a women's organization. It later became a free public library and developed into a major community resource.

The genealogy section draws visitors who want to trace their family roots through local records and archives. You can spend hours here following paper trails that connect to the area's past.

The library offers various services including notary help, computer access, and meeting rooms for different needs. You can come here to work, study, or meet with others depending on what you need.

The building was funded by a local businessman who named it after his parents. This personal connection to local history makes the library more than just a public building.
