Cleveland Public Library
Louis Stokes Legacy Room

In 1997 the Cleveland Public Library named its new east wing in honor of Congressman Louis Stokes and his lifetime of service to Clevelanders.

A special room in the foyer of the namesake building is open for the public to learn about Louis Stokes. We worked closely with the client team and friends of the late congressman to create the content and to design the robust narrative of his lifetime of leadership.

The result: an elegant and informative series of exhibit panels are punctuated with a display case of well-deserved awards — all inspire the visitor and truly honor Congressman Stokes.
