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.

Personally this is my favorite library in all of Summit County…read more The library staff are always so friendly and they treat you like family and they all have great customer service skills. The library shelves are always very organized and it's really easy to find what your looking for whether it's a book, Movie, and or CD. The library is always well clean and sanitized. It's also in a good location in my opinion as I ride public transportation and there is two buses that go past the library which is a plus. I also think they have good hours as well. I would recommend this library to anyone if your looking for a good library.

This is a branch of the Akron Summit County System. There is a nice Children's area with a little…read morepuppet theater and even a turtle! The Children's magazine selection is varied and large, you can find something for all ages from toddler to junior high. The teen area is not large (like all the branches, there is not a ton of space) but is very nicely labeled and new books are clearly displayed. There is an assortment of books on CD and playaways which I use extensively for my long commute. The playaways can be used in the car with an adaptor but I mainly use them to stave off boredom while I exercise. There is a rather extensive collection of DVDs. I am always surprised that even more people don't take advantage of everything our local libraries have to offer. A "Sizzler" section of DVDs are on display, Simply, these are the newest releases. They circulate for 3 days instead of 7. The library also has popular TV series ranging from old classics like Seinfeld and Mash to current favorites like The Vampire Diaries and Fringe. If the branch does not have an item you want, they are happy to order it from another location. Usually this takes 2 days. There are various programs offered throughout the year. Things like computer skills, book clubs, author visits, local speakers, and story times are always well-attended. Twice a year the library holds the Book Sale. This is a fantastic way to procure materials at fantastic prices. I often buy books here for my school's library. Often there are donations of new books. The staff is extremely helpful but you have to approach them at the main desk. Usually there is not a wait to check out, but at certain times, you may have to wait a few minutes. Books circulate for 2 weeks and you can renew items up to 2 times, Renewing is easy now as it can be done on line but you can still call if you prefer. People don't realize how lucky we are in America to have such wonderful public libraries.

For those who know what they are looking for, everything is always in order and easy to find. I come here often, and I plan to continue that!
