Books

What’s a library without books? The concept of a library began here 200 years ago with a private collection of 30 books at the Stark County Courthouse for paid subscribers. Today our collection is open to everyone, borrowing is free, there are no fines, and you can access books at any time from anywhere by downloading or streaming eBooks (including audiobooks).

Find it fast!

With our online catalog, it is easy to find what you like, with reviews, comments, and booklists from like-minded readers. Discover more of what you like with cool digital tools like My Next Read, where our own librarians pick up on what will be hard for you to put down!

Join a book club. Attend an author event. Look over our staff picks and lists. It’s a universe of reading out there just waiting for you, FREE with your Library card.

Of course, we’re always here face-to-face to help you, your kids, your aunt, and the whole neighborhood. It’s what we do. It’s a big reason we’re here, and p.s., we love it!!!!!
