Summit Metro Parks is home to a variety of bats. Red bats are common with bright red fur and fluffy neck manes while the big brown bat supports your more “run of the mill” bat characteristics.

Come and learn about the diversity of these seldom seen creatures and what Metro Parks is doing to manage these rare and misunderstood creatures.

For more information about bats, the Akron-Summit County Public Library has a variety of books available for check out, including Bats: In a World of Echoes by Johan Eklof.

About the branch

Highland Square is one of Akron’s most iconic communities, hosting numerous street fairs and festivals, eclectic shopping and dining, and a vibrant night life. The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics. The Highland Square Branch Library is a reflection of this diverse neighborhood, with a standout LGBTQ collection and a rich programming schedule.

Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library. The full scope of community participation, however, is seen in local senior care facilities, local schools and preschools, and neighborhood festivals where Highland Square Branch Library staff plays an active role in creating experiences for participants of all ages. Visit us soon on the Square.
