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. There are always events, storytimes and lectures going on, and the website provides free access to ebooks, databases, and streaming movies and music via Hoopla and Overdrive apps. Love my library!

New Friends group members are always welcome - just ask at the checkout desk.

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.
