About the Parma Public Library

The Parma Public Library has been serving the Hilton-Parma community in this location since 1978, where we've had the pleasure of making many memories with our patrons. We strive to always be inclusive and welcoming to visitors from our neighborhood, across Monroe County, and beyond! At the library, we provide spaces and opportunities for people of all ages and experiences to connect and grow. We look forward to finding new ways to expand our existing services to bring even more library learning and joy to our community! 

The Parma Library is part of the larger Monroe County Library System (MCLS). Use your library card to check out materials at any public library in the county! If our library doesn't have an item you want, you can request to pick it up here for free. To manage your account, look for materials, or discover new programs, go to libraryweb.org.

Our mission: 

      To bring people, information, ideas and experiences together to establish the library as the living center of the Parma community.
