What is a

library?
     Set Up a
     Family Fun Night

                        What is a library? A building full of books? A community gathering place?
10                      Familiar faces? Helpful, friendly staff? YES— all this and so much more!

                        We love to talk about how libraries are always changing to meet the needs
                        of the community, and the past year has given us the opportunity to show
                        it. When the pandemic hit, our world changed overnight. Things we just
     Get Reading        took for granted were gone and we were left to figure out how to navigate
     Suggestions        a “new normal” in a world that didn’t quite make sense anymore.

                        We wondered how to best serve our community during these unusual
                        times. While it has been a challenge, it has also been an opportunity for
                        us to grow. To think outside of the box. To challenge ourselves to think
                        beyond our four walls. We had to be flexible, find creative solutions, and
                        pivot quickly. Thankfully, our library is staffed with very creative and imagi-
                        native people, so we did just that.

                        As we re-opened our buildings last summer, we began alternative ways to
                        offer library services. When you couldn’t come to us, we came to you—
                        through Library-to-Go services, the digital library, and virtual programs!
                        Our digital materials usage—eBooks, eMagazines, eAudiobooks—exploded.
     Find a Job         Our bookmobiles visited at community stops. We were so grateful to be able to
                        continue to connect with the community in new and exciting ways.

                        I see the light at the end of the tunnel and am
                        filled with hope for the future. We hope to
                        begin in-person events in the coming months.
                        As you walk back into the library and familiar
                        surroundings, there are a lot of changes,
14                      but one thing stays the same—everyone at
                        Stark Library will be excited to see you!

is Underway!
We have an exciting update to share with you—we officially kicked off our
Re|imagine project in February! Construction is underway at North Branch and
on target for a mid-summer re-opening. We can’t wait to see the results!

What can I expect?
We want your library to be a place you want to spend your day. In addition to some
cosmetic upgrades such as fresh paint and new carpet, you can look forward to more
charging options for your devices, flexible meeting spaces, and comfortable furniture.
Of course, these are just a few of the exciting upgrades you can look forward to.
If you want a sneak peek at what to expect, stop by our new Jackson Community
Branch at North Park to see how we Re|imagined it for the 21st century.
Jackson is home to technology and features we plan to roll out systemwide
including user-friendly self-checks, dedicated children and teen areas, and study
rooms—perfect for school, tutoring, and even small business meetings!

What’s Next?
East Canton is our next branch to undergo updates and is slated to begin on June 14.
Madge Youtz Branch will follow on August 16.
During Phase 2 of Re|imagine, in 2022, Perry, DeHoff Memorial, and Lake Community
branches will undergo renovation.

What do I do While my Branch is Closed?
Each branch will take several months to complete (depending on the size and complexity), but don’t
worry, we would never leave you hanging! Alternate services will be available while each branch
is being upgraded—the Bookmobile will visit each location regularly. You can also access our
Library-to-Go Services and our Online Library!
