Being the largest Civil War training grounds in Ohio, Camp Cleveland – located in the current-day Tremont area – has a fascinating history. Join Kit Whipple to learn about its training camp, hospital and Confederate POW camp.

About the branch

The Beachwood Branch first opened to the public on October 31, 1982. At the time, it was the first branch in the CCPL system to have an automated circulation system. Located just a few hundred yards from the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, the branch offers a drive-up window where customers can pick up requested materials, dedicated spaces for kids and teens, and a beautiful outdoor reading garden.
