In the Medina County District Library service district, patrons average 19 items checked out annually. Ohioans USE their libraries.

Ohio’s public libraries are leading the way! Ohioans checked out more than 13 items per person — more than twice the national average! 🎉

What makes Ohio’s public libraries stand out? It’s a commitment to access, collaboration, and community. Ohioans can use public libraries across the state without paying non-resident fees, and libraries work together to connect readers with millions of materials beyond their local shelves.

From books and digital resources to Wi-Fi hotspots, health kits, and welcoming spaces where neighbors can connect, Ohio’s public libraries are much more than places to borrow books. They’re essential community resources that enrich lives every day.

👏 A special shout-out to Perry County District Library for showcasing this impact! Through its participation in the SEO Library Consortium, the library helps connect patrons with an even wider world of books and resources. And as this Spectrum News 1 Ohio story highlights, the library offers so much more than borrowing materials. It’s also a place for connection and community.
