    We have wanted to visit the "Kent State University Museum" for a long time and never seemed to get…read morearound to it. Well today we made a point to get it done. Now all I can think is, "What took us so long"! Kent, Ohio is a cute town, surrounding a beautiful University campus. It is a pleasure to drive through and very easy to navigate. We arrived at the museum this morning which is FREE on Sunday. A nice contemporary building on the campus. Easy to park, easy to enter, and easy to get around. Upon entering you are greeted by a friendly face at the reception desk that is more than happy to answer any questions and provide directions. It is layed out on the main and 2nd floors on both sides of the central hall. The exhibits are absolutely beautiful. They included clothing through the century, jewelry, glass & ceramics, and designs from the university fashion design department. As well as a fabulous exhibit by artist LeRoy Neiman. Everything is exceptionally beautiful. After you spend plenty of time exploring the museum you'll have no problem finding a nice place to relax, eat and have drinks in town. We had a marvelous time today and I'm confident you will too. Do yourself a favor and visit the "Kent State University Museum"... It's amazing.

    I visited the KSU Museum for the first time in Dec 2024 to see the Nancy Crow quilt exhibit and I…read morewas impressed. The museum has two floors of beautifully curated displays. The emphasis is on fashion, and I especially liked the history timeline. The purse collection in the hallway is colorful and fun. The quilts were stunning and displayed in a bright and spacious gallery with a mirrored view. There's an admission fee most days but Sunday was free. The museum isn't big, but it has a very professional feel and includes a gift shop sells works made by students, and the building is very attractive and located right on campus. Definitely worth a visit.

    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.
