It's disgusting to look at poop! Mary Ellen spends money on 3 security guards at one time in her Library, but won't take care of the beautiful library overlooking Sippo. She won't give anyone a guest pass. It's OUR library Mary Ellen! I have had my computer go down and I have my library card info in the computer that went down so I can't move to another one. I see residents come in and have the internet, they just need a print out, or a fax or they don't live here and don't need a card, just a copy of something. What is the problem with letting Stark County residents NOT use their computers they paid for Also, i have asked and asked and asked for coupons. The Sunday paper has coupons to use at the store.( It's great that Mary Ellen and the Stark Board of Trustees Steven Pittman don't need coupons.) But alot of us do. I have left numerous messages for Steven Pittman to call me regarding above info, but he never calls! Mary Ellen never has any coupons at the Market st. library or at the Sippo library. Who pays for the Sunday paper? Can I get the coupons? The last time i went into Sippo, the employee was eating and talking with her mouth full. Can we eat in there now? I had just eaten a pizza in the car before I came in. Or is that just for the Sippo employees?

This is clearly a nice library for a small city. The Art Gallery was the touch that for me made a 5…read morestar rating. I spent the majority of time in the Art Gallery and the children's area. The artist featured was Nancy? The paintings were colorful and bright. Our 1 yr old grandson especially liked an aquatic theme painting. Many of the paintings have a price tag and are for sale. The Children's play area was a little cramped but offered many choices. Felt a little enclosed by massive stacks but still a nice area. book selection for toddlers was very good.

They also have a notary service, which was very convenient for me when I needed something notarized in a pinch. The only slight issue is the parking.....the lot is small and fills up fast, so chances are you may have to park across the street. But that is such a minor detail. Everything else about this library is top notch!

We haven't actually made it past the entry way to even rate the rest of the experience because the library was "too full" and only half my family could go inside and it was closing soon. There were maybe 4 cars outside. We went to North Canton library instead where they are kind and don't tell a parent alone with 3 kids that only 2 people can go inside and not care one bit that this doesn't work.

Best library system in Ohio! They always get what patrons want, love our Jackson branch.read more

From the owner: In 1935, the Louisville Board of Education decided to open the school's library to the general…read morepublic of the school district. Since the library was housed in the school, the library was only open during school hours and closed during the Former Middle School summer months. In 1937 the Library Board voted to keep the library open all summer. Library hours were extended into the evening hours in the 1940's, and in the 1950's to include Saturday's. The first children's hour was held in 1937, and is still a tradition we continue to this day. In 1964 a bond issue funded the building of the current library, located at 700 Lincoln Avenue. The library housed 54,000 volumes in 1969 when the building was dedicated.

As far as the inside of the library it's not large but is big enough for the area. They have around 12 to 15 computers to do research on and plenty of movies and music to browse through.

I am always a huge fan of the library, but what puts Massillon Library over the top are the…read moreprograms. This past weekend we attended an event at the Massillon Cemetery, hosted by the library. Library employees/volunteers were stationed throughout the cemetery at different graves and mausoleums, sharing the history of the locals who were buried there. Some of the stories were sad, some were happy, some were a little chilling, but ALL of them were entertaining and interesting. (Doesn't hurt that this is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Stark County.) I really enjoy the library building itself, which is the former home of the founder of Massillon. The Duncan family has its own interesting history and I would strongly recommend anyone to learn a little bit more about Massillon's rich history and the history of the library itself. (As if the books weren't already enough to draw one in!)

There are different departments for kids, teens, adults, asking research/reference questions, local history/genealogy, a computer center, and movies, games and music.

This was my first return to this branch in a few years…read more Lots of improvements and it looks bright and welcoming. The staff was very nice. I was there for an authors event with local author Courtney Hauser in the meeting room. Afterwards I asked Tony, the manager to kindly give me a tour. He was very enthusiastic about what the library had to offer and showed me the different areas of concentration. He mentioned recent improvements and also soon to be upgrades. Areas of opportunity: I think the restroom should be wheelchair accessible. Also able to be opened without touching the pull down handle. People with dexterity issues may have a hard time opening the restroom door because I had to pull hard. I will definitely return.
