What do Legos, cork-screw openers, Russian nesting dolls, 3-D printed objects, china dogs, coke items, 19^th Century oddities, famous signatures, and space memorabilia have in common? They were all on display at the library. This is just a small sample of the amazing subject matter that we have exhibited.

Are you a collector or a hobbyist? If the answer is yes, have you considered displaying your collection with the library?

We have three display cases, two in the foyer and one by the front desk. Every month, we highlight a different display. If you are a patron, you have no doubt noticed the wide assortment of subjects that we have been fortunate to feature.

We also have a new artist’s show each month in the Community Room, including various media including paintings, drawings, photographs, prints etc. The library is always appreciative of collectors, hobbyists, and artists who offer to share their work. 

If you would like to participate, we would certainly welcome your collections. Please contact Jan Ridenour 330-343-6123.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Here are some romantic movie recommendations from the library staff.
