CPL@CSU

In the fall of 2005, the Cleveland State University Library partnered with Cleveland Public Library to provide popular reading materials to the campus community to promote leisure reading and encourage our students to develop strong ties to the public library system after graduation. CPL@CSU is the result! Find out more by reading the FAQ below:
