Welcome Alumni!
The library will be open special hours for reminiscing!
Our regular hours Friday and Saturday are 9-1 and we will stay open from 1-5 both days for self-guided nostalgia tours (but no library business from 1-5).
Front Entrance Closed
The front entrance of the library is closed while they repair the front steps. The side entrance, near Kent's Mary Patterson building, and the back entrance are still open. The book return has been moved to near the back entrance (facing the alley behind Cooper's Insurance). Sorry for the inconvenience.
Fleece Drive & Blanket Craft Event
We are collecting donations of fleece to make tie blankets for individuals in need. We are asking for 2-yard sections in order to make large enough blankets. To make one blanket, we need 2 sections of 2 yards (front & back). Please drop the material off in the bin placed by the main desk.

We are not able to bring them to your car. Please call 330-385-2048 opt. 1, for curbside pickup of a test. Do not enter the library if you have symptoms or are quarantining.
East Liverpool native Craig Wetzel was born breech and continues to observe the world from that perspective. He is a professional artist and author, which is why his car is falling apart. He has exhibited his art in the United States and Europe and prints of his work have sold throughout the world, but he’s still broke. Last year Craig wrote and illustrated For the Love of Pete, a book about a pinecone who tours East Liverpool and falls in love with a plastic flamingo.
