Inspired, creative, fun displays; beautiful new building; clean bathrooms; plenty of computers…read more Some staff are aloof and hesitant when asked questions - almost unapproachable - I get the sense that maybe they have to deal with a lot of homeless and/or mentally ill patrons so they have to put up a strong emotional wall, so to speak. Maybe it's just a matter of letting them get to know that you're sane, and don't mean any harm, over time. I wish they had more options for fun classes and events! It's probably just slow because of covid.

Not happy with the crazy weird rules and how they treat people during COVID. Their pick up window…read moreis nice. 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

The Friends' 'Free to a good home' cart was well-stocked. The only downside at this time is that the preschooler program is quite loud. Also not sure the one-way traffic flow is needed for the parking lot here, and it's easy to miss the signage.

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!)

They are gentle with my littles and inquire with sincere interest in what they are doing should we happen to cross paths. They are always doing work and keeping the integrity of the library. The amount of resources available are astonishing and when I came in to ask for how to utilize the online resources I was asked if I could be assisted at another counter while waiting in line, and when I was being silly and hadn't even thought to look for myself on the website which has full detailed instructions, the librarian was sincere and very helpful. It is evident they enjoy their job and excel at making this the best kept little secret that it is. We frequent often and plan to continue to do so!
