Lorain Public Library System (LPLS) began as an association library when a committee of interested citizens joined together in 1901. The Association’s trustees secured a grant from the Carnegie Foundation to erect a library building in Lorain that was completed in 1904.

Today, LPLS serves a diverse population of approximately 123,000. The library system provides library service to school districts including Lorain City Schools, Clearview Schools, Firelands Schools, Avon Schools, Columbia Schools, North Ridgeville Schools and Sheffield/Sheffield Lake Schools.  Service is provided by the Main Library in Lorain, five branch libraries, and through outreach services, including Bookmobile service and Books-by Mail service.

Lorain Public Library has been a member of CLEVNET since 1990.
