点评:We visited Cleveland as part of our multi-day trip, and the Cleveland Public Library was our second stop after touring the nearby beautiful Federal Reserve Building, which closes early. The library turned out to be even more magnificent than we expected. It consists of two interconnected buildings—one historic and one modern—beautifully preserved and thoughtfully designed. Walking through the library truly felt like exploring a museum, with grand architecture, artwork, and exhibits throughout.
One of the highlights was the massive collection of Chinese books, magazines, and materials—the largest we have ever seen in a U.S. public library.
We were also fortunate to meet Victoria and Deman from the International Languages Department. They were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and generous with their time. They shared fascinating historical facts about the library, pointed out notable Cleveland landmarks, and even offered helpful travel tips for places that weren’t originally on our itinerary.
Overall, we had a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. The Cleveland Public Library is a remarkable destination—beautiful, educational, and absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!
翻译:在我们的多日游中,我们游览了克利夫兰。参观完附近美丽的联邦储备银行大楼(可惜它关门很早)后,克利夫兰公共图书馆是我们的第二站。图书馆比我们预想的还要壮观。它由两座相连的建筑组成——一座历史悠久,一座现代时尚——保存完好,设计精巧。漫步其中,仿佛置身于一座博物馆,宏伟的建筑、精美的艺术品和琳琅满目的展品令人目不暇接。
其中最令人印象深刻的是馆藏丰富的中文书籍、杂志和资料——这是我们在美国公共图书馆见过的规模最大的中文馆藏。
我们还有幸结识了国际语言部的维多利亚和德曼。他们非常友善、博学,而且非常慷慨地抽出时间与我们交流。他们分享了关于图书馆的精彩历史,指出了克利夫兰的著名地标,甚至还为我们提供了行程之外的旅行建议。
总而言之,这是一次非常愉快且难忘的体验。克利夫兰公共图书馆是一个非常棒的地方——环境优美,内容丰富,绝对值得一游。强烈推荐!
