Cleveland Public Library has cataloged non-English materials for its collection since its establishment in 1869. To this day, Cleveland continues to have areas of high ethnic concentration. The Library now catalogs materials in forty-five languages and has one of the largest non-English collections among public libraries in the United States, consisting of 214,000 volumes In its Foreign Lit- erature Department. Materials for new immigrants from Eastern Eu- rope and the Near and Far East have expanded the non-English collections as CPL has responded to the information and reading needs of the new arrivals. Cataloging procedures have been stream- lined to move materials as quickly as possible to circulation~shelves. Cleveland Public budgets over $130,000 for nowEnglish materials, and support from library administration continues to be high.
