Great children's area!…read more We were in the area and decided to stop by and visit. The library is open on a Sunday which is rare for most libraries. They have a spacious children's area with lots of books and areas to play. There was a giant boat, aquarium with colorful fish, interactive table, plus a great play area for children six and under. My kids loved all the stuff to do in the play room and I loved that the door was shut so they wouldn't interrupt others in the library. They also have a family bathroom that is perfect for kids just starting to potty train.

I know a good library when I see it. This is a beautiful…read morelibrary. Seriously, this marble beauty and its giant pillars will catch your eye immediately. Under the CLEVE-NET system of library cards, you can use your library card at several Ohio institutions, including this one. This library is two floors, on the newer side and pristine. For a small town like Vermilion, you may not expect such a big, beautiful library like this one. But it's really one of my favorite ones I've seen in Ohio. Great selection of items, helpful staff and in-depth attention to sanitizing procedures during COVID. There's even a super cute sailboat in the kids section they can play in during regular times. But if you're a library person like I am, this one should be on tour list. It's a beaut!

Beautiful Structure...Great Book Sales!…read more If anyone goes to the Milan Melon Festival on Labor Day Weekend, the library will have a book sale. When I went 28 out of 31 (probably 32) times in my life...I would usually get a book or movie from there...the 28th Time I went there which was 2012, I got a Computer CD with "Golf/Ski Tycoon" and that was the 1st Time I went inside their library. So if I get someone to take me to the Milan Melon Festival, the Brew-Haa-Haa, or just a weekend to see Edison's Birthplace...I'll make sure I go to their library as well!

Kids area The new…read morelibrary design is so bright and open. Loved the large windows and lots of seating options. If you go upstairs they have a kids area. Tucked within the books are many play options. My son enjoyed the puppet theater, bean bag chairs, tablet games, play kitchen and train table. They also have puzzles, building blocks, and coloring areas. They have seating for adults which is great so you can supervise your child but also let them play with the other kids. My favorite part was the family bathroom. Small toilets and stools for the sink. My son is working on potty training and was so excited he had to give it a try.

This place was my safe space growing up, I'd leave with a stack of 10+ books and be ready to go back in a few days, I rode my bike miles with my sisters to it during the summer, I still have some of the prizes from the summer reading program. Good on the library for standing up to be a safe space for everyone. Keep up the good work.
