Maybe it's just a matter of letting them get to know that you're sane, and don't mean any harm, over time. I wish they had more options for fun classes and events! It's probably just slow because of covid.

Today I mentioned that perhaps they should offer earplugs. The work being conducted specifically on this Saturday is called the community space 1 was particularly Loud. I asked to shut the door, and one of the staff allowed it and thenMrs. Karen Kelly G. to whom is indeed Vociferous. Stated the door had to remain open, then she mentioned a time this week when I was on the phone, which isn't the case today. it was rather a peaceful day, and it was great. I mentioned to her if ever there is an issue please mention this to patrons on that day. The security was not present today, and all days where there is patronage in the library there should be present security which often is loud themselves. The title in this case doesn't have precedence. it more about the actual ability to be respectful and restorative in any flaws that human beings tend to make. I conduct work in various counties and this work can range from county libraries to city libraries. I don't encounter these issues anywhere but places where security, along with staff of the libraries are equally LOUD!

Fantastic public library! They have such a great and fun atmosphere! When you enter the librarians…read moreall greet you with happy smiles! Depending on which entrance you take, you might've seen the lockers. These lockers allow you to access your hold requests outside of library hours (absolutely amazing and how come more libraries don't do this?!). There are two study rooms you can request as well as a laptop bar where you can sit and get work done in front of large glass windows. There is also a huge selection of children's activities throughout the week with story times and fun for the kiddos! I can't recommend this library enough, so many great people work here who are always willing to offer help!

I'm 74 PTSD combat veteran my own business for 40 years successfully Akron professional photographer. I know how to run a business. So far now for three weeks I've been back-and-forth VA where I'm greeted by a whole flock of gray old ladies that know nothing... Every time I've gone back, they give me a new form or a new paper. I've got to have. They're never articulate enough to sit down and go. Here's what you need, sir ABCD no they just give me a paper then the next time I oh well you gotta have another paper so go down and do this paper go across the street and get your VIN down here and get but they never tell me upfront. My patience is very thin. I refused to go here again. Thank God, I found the Stow Ohio BMV, 15 minutes. It took me to get everything clarified.

I've been here 3 times in the last month, and I've been to the Streetsboro BMV twice in that time…read moreframe. Here's why. We moved back to Ohio from Florida. Went and got the e-check on the car done at Van's, then headed to Ravenna on a Saturday morning for the Vin check/title/registration. We waited with a number so we could get someone to read the VIN, then they sent us across the street for the Title transfer (Florida to Ohio), then we went back and got right up to the counter with the paperwork. Excellent! I think we were there a total of an hour, maybe 70 minutes. The second time, I decided to be even smarter. I went and got the e-check done on the truck, then I took it to the Streetsboro BMV to do the VIN check, since it's minutes from me. Done and done. Headed down to the BMV on Saturday morning with the stuff for our Driver's Licenses and to register the truck. We go to the title agency to transfer, and guess what? The VIN is wrong. There's a 7 where there should be a Z. OMG. So we went back over to the BMV, took our eyes tests and waited for our driver's licenses. Another seventy-five minutes of our time. Third time around. I go back to Streetsboro - get the VIN redone. DOUBLE CHECKED IT. Went home. TRIPLE CHECKED IT. Went the next Saturday back down to Ravenna. Title goes through. Whew. Back over to the BMV to wait. Literally the longest wait time I've had at a BMV since, well, Florida when we had to sit there for 4 hours. We were probably waiting a good 90 minutes plus just to get someone to call our number. It was a nut house. But finally, we have 2 licenses and 2 cars retitled and reregistered in Ohio. Now, the adult son is moving back from NJ and I guess we'll be going down there all over again for him. Double check everything! And be prepared for a wait. On the plus side, the people watching is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! ;)

My love of this branch is probably 85% based on convenience and 3% Stockholm Syndrome. Overall,…read moreAkron has an absolutely incredible public library system, and I've definitely been to branches that skeeve me out more than Firestone Park ever could. I also wonder what this branch has seen because the cop manning the branch always has this look of suspicion on his face. I'm glad the librarians have protection, but I've never seen a look of such disdain from someone eating an English muffin. Akron Public Libraries has a great online portal and their own app, so checking out books is such a convenience. Firestone Park might not a ton of books that pertain to my interests, but it's so easy to get one delivered to them. Also I've been out of ink toner since 2016 so printing services there are also something I'm grateful to have access to. I can't say enough good things about the library.

Yelpers listen here!…read more I absolutely love this library location!! The librarians are super sweet and super amazing at finding the information you need. They patiently ask questions until they have found the closest answer to the information you have requested. They have amazing activities for the youth, even an animal show where we can touch the animals!! I even got a free T-shirt in a reading contest and so did my youth! Please go here for any fun you may want, you will definitely be blessed!

I have great admiration for those who've served, and stood up for our freedoms; many being family members. I've come here a few times on gravesite location searches for a local genealogy agency, and I was pleased to know that there was a gravesite locator at the main office, which prints off a map for the grave of the person you search, with a site number, and section number. This is especially handy for those looking for members of their family tree, and a nice added touch.
