Try something new in 2023!

Lifelong learning through the Library!

"I've always wanted to..."

Learn a new language!

Transparent Language is a free language learning program. Create an account to save your progress, choose one of nearly 100 languages and dialects, and start learning!

Try video games before you buy!

Did you get a console for Christmas? Stop by the Library to borrow games, to try before you buy. Or get a multiplayer game for family game night or a birthday sleepover.

Explore your heritage! Use Ancestry Library Edition free, but you can only access it in the Library. See our other free databases for genealogical research.

Try a different genre!

Expand your reading horizons by trying something new. Fan of cozy mysteries? Try a biography! Dedicated Thriller reader? Give Westerns a try! You can even experiment with movies! Like Action? Try something from Humor. Our Library is arranged for browsing, so come on in and have a look around!

Read a comic book, graphic novel, or manga! Catch up with your favorite superheroes, or read a classic in graphic form, like Lois Lowry's The Giver, Bram Stoker's Dracula, or even Shakespeare! Try the Japanese comics known as manga (we have one of the best collections in the state), filled with adventure. Terrific for the "reluctant readers" in your household!

Find a new hobby! Browse our nonfiction collection for beginner's guides to all sorts of interesting handicrafts (needlework, woodwork, crafting), homesteading pursuits (like home brewing, gardening or cooking) and technology (laser engraving, droning or CNC machines). Plus so much more, like sports or movie trivia!

Get crafty in the Makerspace! You have the imagination, and we have the tools and expertise! For the cost of materials (purchased from the Library or purchased elsewhere and approved by staff) you could make custom and personalized gifts. Mother's Day is not that far away! Make an appointment in the Makerspace by calling 330.587.5756 to get started!

Spend quality time with family playing board games! Gather everyone around for a wicked game of Kids Against Maturity or Ticket to Ride. We have games for all ages and abilities. And half the fun is figuring out the rules together (and maybe making up some house rules along the way).

Experiment with free streaming on Libby! Get ebooks, audiobooks, comics, music, tv shows and movies without even leaving home. And it's all free with your library card! You will need an internet connection on your device, and a free app. If you need help setting up and using Libby, make an appointment in the Makerspace by calling 330.587.5756
