Practice your reading skills by reading aloud to our doggie pals. Bring a book from home or read one of ours! This is a great way for children to practice their literacy skills! Please register.

Reading doesn't have to be "ruff"! Meet one or more of our visiting therapy dogs from Gold Star Dog Training, who love to listen to stories read aloud for a sticker and learn a little about their training. All ages are welcome, and there is no registration. Just stop in for a visit! 

Want to learn more about therapy dogs and how they help people? Here are some books you can check out at the library.

This program has been updated to require registration. Due to changing guidelines from the CDC regarding COVID-19, we believe this is the best way to keep you informed about the status of our programs.

Visitors from surrounding communities—Coventry, New Franklin, Green, Clinton, Canal Fulton, Barberton, and Massillon—join local residents in visiting the Portage Lakes Branch Library to enjoy NatureConnect, learning-through-play and storytime programming, crafting opportunities, book discussions, arts and history informational programming, and more.

With rich book, music, and movie resources, Portage Lakes Branch Library has something for everyone of every age. Computers, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing round out the services available at the Portage Lakes Branch Library, making it a one-stop spot for all your learning, business, and entertainment needs and interests.
