I have never been to Cleveland, Ohio. But I have always been aware that the Cleveland Public Library has one of the largest chess collection of materials in the world.
There are no online resources at the library.
The chess books Google turned into electronic readings came from a University.
Scope of the library:
For beginners: 80% of the beginners chess books are in English.
Advanced players: 90% of the books are in European and Slavic languages.
The library contains books on Chess Problems going back to 1814 (Sastri's Essays on Chess).
Asian & European manuscripts.
Treatises on the Game of Chess: Going back to the Near East 1140 and 1600.
European Literature Thirteenth Century and on.





At the end of 1990, the chess and checkers collection included 30, 317 bound and cataloged volumes of monographs, serials, and manuscripts (including about 1,000 manuscripts, 6, 218 bound volumes of periodicals, and 821 volumes of bound chess and checkers columns); 1, 669 unbound and unclassified tournament books and bulletins arranged by date and by place of tournament in 17 vertical file drawers; about 1, 000 chess pictures; 209 boxes of unbound chess columns arranged by place of publication; about 50 boxes of chess problems arranged by the name of problemists; and pictorial materials and ephemera arranged by subject matter. Archival files housed in vertical file drawers include 15 drawers of chess subject matter, incorporating the well-arranged Kenneth Harkness, Eric Hassberg, Julius Buchwald, martin E. Morrison papers, as well as documents received from the United States Chess Federation (USCF) and the Cleveland Chess Association; 16 drawers of USCF chess tournament rating reports for February 1971 through March 1977; and 12 drawers of "Chess-subject" files housing a wide variety of ephemeral documents and illustrative materials pertaining to all collecting areas relevant ot chess and checkers. In addition, there are 44 complete (1,408 pieces), 22 incomplete (404 pieces) chess sets, and 11 extraneous chess boards. The 66 chess sets came from White's original collection or through donations. (The White Collection does not purchase chess sets, but does accept gifts of artistically or historically important pieces which document the history, development, and design of chessmen.)
The online page is a recommendation of chess resources.

If you live in the NYC area CCNY (City College of NY) part of CUNY has a huge chess library as well. There are books by Reinfeld and Fine never seen
elsewhere. They probably had a small printing. Probably from Chess Review, Al Horrowitz the founder and editor.

I do recall the U.S. Army library in Fort Jackson, near Columbia S.C. also had a fairly good chess library, including Botvinnik's 1941 Absolute Tournament, and a 1948 Soviet chess Tournament, Lillenthal, and Keres among others, (both in English).

In any event I hope some day that the Cleveland Library will have electronic versions of the Chess collection.

You are wonderful. I will certainly see into interlibrary loans when I have the time. You are aware of so many fabulous resources. I am so impressed by your wealth of information on this wonderful game. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I envy you so much. I would love to play through a list of your favorite games. I am quite sure it would be like a trip to a decadent candy store. You are going to rot our teeth. Thank you so much.
