 CET is pleased to partner with the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and to provide you with "virtual tours" of the newly redesigned Main Library. The open house and celebration is February 1-8, 2008, with a Launch Party on Saturday, February 2, from 1-4pm. While the Main Library has a new look, more importantly it has also reorganized to better serve its customers. Check out the interactive maps of each floor and watch the videos to learn more.
