SERVICES:
We’re happy to be a good neighbor by providing free self-serve meeting rooms. (Self-serve means you may move furniture, but you will need to return room to original set-up. Technology support may be available.) Users of this space must agree to and follow the Library Community Room policy.
Quiet study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis during open hours. There are often quiet study tables too, but they are within the main library space.
This branch provides a continuous Friends of the Library mini Book Sale area.

Collection size: 48,282 items
Programs: 185 in 2018
Meeting room size: 1,071 square feet
Meeting room capacity: 80 people
General Observations
- Nice and open layout that could accommodate future change.
- Lends itself easily to a single service point.
- The children’s area seems small.
- The teen area is also small and does not have much of a “teen” identity. This may not be the best location for this function.
- Consider subdividing the back right-hand corner space into two small rooms.
- Consider table and chair style flexible furniture instead of wall mounted counter tops. The current arrangement creates underutilized spaced in the center of the room.
- Consider creating more of an identity for the teen area and integrating technology.
- Consider consolidating service points.
In spring 2024, the Library sent a survey to the Lucas County community to learn what you love about your Library and how we could improve our buildings to better meet your needs. This is what 111 Point Place neighbors said they wanted in an updated space.

Library service for the Point Place community began in 1926 when the Lucas County Library opened a Branch in the former Point Place Junior High School. When Point Place became part of the city of Toledo in 1937, Lucas County closed the high school Library. In 1938, the Toledo Library System reopened a Branch in the high school Library. The Library moved to Summit Street in 1942and stayed there until 1964. The Library outgrew this site, and in 1999 it reopened at its current location.
