"The Akron-Summit County Public Library is recognized locally as an essential community asset and nationally as one of the finest public libraries in the United States due to its excellent customer service, collaborative community involvement, and high level of customer and employee satisfaction." - Akron-Summit County Public Library

This branch project included the relocation of the existing branch during construction to provide a 6,500 square foot addition to the new 11,700 square foot facility.  The 28-foot entry clearstone presents a dramatic background for the neighborhood branch. In addition, the renovated facility includes a new playground, 30-car parking lot, meeting rooms, and art work.
