About the Library and Community

The Grafton-Midview Public Library was established in 1944 as a school district library through the efforts of Harriet Spitzer, who led the push to create a free public library for the Grafton community. Originally housed inside Grafton School on Elm Street, the library later moved in 1971 to a former bank building on Main Street that was purchased for just $1.00. In 1991, the library underwent a major expansion and renovation, increasing its size from just over 2,000 square feet to nearly 12,000 square feet. Today, the library operates as one of seven independent public libraries in Lorain County and serves approximately 24,000 residents located in Grafton Village, Grafton Township, Eaton Township, and parts of Carlisle Township and Elyria.

The mission of the Grafton-Midview Public Library is to provide free and equal access to information, knowledge, and ideas; promote personal enrichment and life-long learning; encourage literacy and love of reading and foster cultural and educational programs and partnerships in a welcoming community environment. To learn more, visit: gmplibrary.org

Located in southeastern Lorain County, Grafton is a close-knit and growing community that blends small-town charm with convenient access to larger metropolitan amenities. Home to a quaint, historic downtown district, established residential neighborhoods, and surrounding rural landscapes, the area offers a welcoming atmosphere with a strong sense of community pride and local identity. Residents benefit from a quieter and more affordable lifestyle while still having access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and entertainment options. The community is also well positioned geographically with convenient access to major transportation corridors, allowing residents to easily commute to both Cleveland and Akron. Outdoor recreation and natural amenities are abundant in the region, with nearby parks, trails, and golf courses. Combined with well-regarded schools, a family-friendly environment, abundant regional attractions, and a balance of rural character and suburban convenience, the Grafton area provides an appealing place to live, work, and build long-term community connections.
