Libraries are the best places on Earth. You can always learn something at the library. From books, audio books, music, and live author events. I had the opportunity to listen to author, Tyler Merritt in the auditorium and throughly enjoyed myself. Most events and programming are free, you just need a library card to sign up.

Hello, My husband and I recently purchased something that may have been previously owned by Pastor Roy W. Gary, founder of the Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church. How would I go about doing research in to his background? Thanks!

Carol, I know you asked this a few months ago, but if you can go to the library in person and actually work with a librarian, this is exactly what they are trained for, to know how to, and to assist with research.

Do it have good books

Elena Gomez | Oct 23, 2018
Christopher White | Oct 23, 2018

Yes--and much more than that. You can check out baking pans and original art work from the Akron Art Museum. There are two recording studios which anyone can reserve, free of charge, for two hours at a time. Their tech zone boggles the mind with the sort of resources available for public use, from 3d printers to vinyl printers and sewing machines, and much more. There are good reasons why Akron's public library system leads the nation according to the American Library Association.
