Akron-Summit County Public Library

When I was a teenager, I would spend my summers at this library! I grew up right by it, so I remember it being built and replacing the branch on Archwood.
I’d walk here from my house, rent as many books as possible (I don’t remember what the limit was, but I was always there!) read them all in a week, then go back for more! Ah, the joys of being a speed-​reading teenager with too much time on your hands.
The library isn’t huge by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve been to much larger libraries with much bigger selections, but I prefer this one. It has a cozy feel to it. It’s also quiet, so it’s a serene place to visit when you have some spare time.
I wouldn’t recommend going here to use the computers. Almost every time I’ve been, none of them were available for use.
Everyone who works here is really nice and willing to help you out on whatever you’re looking for.
I’ve been back a few times as an adult, and it’s the same great library I know and love! Would recommend for a visit.
