About the Parma-Ridge Branch

The Parma-Ridge Branch is one of three libraries in the city of Parma. Parma is the only community served by the Cuyahoga County Public Library System that has multiple branches. Although the Parma-Ridge branch is the smallest in the city, it does offer a full range of services including children's programming from birth through teen. The branch has all types of media for borrowing.

What's New

In addition to the Friends of Parma Libraries’ regularly scheduled book sales, we have recently added a used book sale room at the branch so that you can browse for bargains every day. All proceeds go to the Friends to help them support library programs.

Prices are: $1 for hardbacks, DVDs, Music CDs and CD Books; 50 cents for paperback books and VHS tapes, 25 cents for children’s books and phonograph records, and 10 cents for magazines. The used book sale room is located at the entrance to the Technology Lab.
