Louis Stokes Wing
The ''Louis Stokes Wing'' is a 1998-erected 163 foot 10-story high-rise addition to the main branch of the 15th largest public library in the country, Cleveland Public Library located in the Civic Center district of downtown Cleveland.〔http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=21454 ''Louis Stokes Wing'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 So as not to detract from the original Group Plan Main Branch Library building, the Wing was designed to appear as if it were the reincarnation of what the library building would look like if it emerged as a modern updated structure from the classic age of architecture. 〔http://www.emporis.com/buildings/136460/louis-stokes-wing-cleveland-oh-usa ''Louis Stokes Wing'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 Nevertheless, the building dwarfs its much squatter Main Branch Building companion. The Stokes houses the special book storage collections, the audio visual archives (videos, DVDs, CDs, etc.), the children's collections, the circulation desk, and much more for the library system.
==Name==
The building is named after the former US Congressman who served in Ohio's 11th congressional district from 1968-1998. 〔http://history.house.gov/People/Detail/22311?ret=True ''Stokes, Louis'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 The tribute to his legacy in the name of this building is as fitting as one could hope as Congressman Stokes was a lifelong advocate of the importance of education and knowledge. This can be exemplified by the fact that he graduated from Cleveland Marshall College of Law in 1953. 〔https://www.law.csuohio.edu/alumnigiving/stokes ''Alumni & Giving'' Retrieved on 2015-09-12〕 Stokes model of life could be summed as education, knowledge, compassion, community, and service to conuntry. 〔Morris, P. ''Lou Stokes was a great politician and is an even greater man'' Plain Dealer July 21st 2015〕
