Things to do in Ohio, United States: The Best Libraries

January 21, 2022 Madelene Haan

If you are looking for an active place to stay with world-class attractions, Ohio’s major cities can satisfy any vacation desire. Each offers its own distinct flavor of fun, from professional sports – Bengals (Cincinnati), Cavaliers (Cleveland) and Indians (Cleveland again) – to museums, outdoor activities and more. One of the most famous is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. If football is your thing, don’t miss the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. For the science-minded, visit the meat eaters at the Carnivore Conservation Center in the Wilds near Cambridge, dedicated to the breeding and scientific study of endangered mid-sized carnivores. Kids will also love Planet Snoopy in Sandusky or the Columbus Zoo’s Zoombezi Bay Waterpark and Jack’s Landing rides.

Moved away from downtown, but still the branch libraries can usually quickly reserve anything you need. Great selections of books, music, videos and more. And now audio books, etc available online. Always there for me since I was barely old enough to read. Thank you Toledo/Lucas County Library.

The Muskingum County Library system is a true gem. In addition to a huge assortment of books, dvd movies, and books on tape, they offer free activities at all the libraries in Muskingum County. Currently, they have a weekly Coffee and Craft class. There is a group of about 8 of us who attend. It’s fun, gets us out of the house and we learn something new. The Lunch and Learn program is wonderful and always well attended. Muskingum County really has an amazing library system. If you haven’t visited, you’re missing out on some interesting programs.

Absolutely incredible space that used to be a Grand Hotel. The library AND the librarians are top notch, and clearly have a love for the space as well as what's in it! Go and get your library needs as well as some history/museum finds! Give yourself at least an hour to see the building and enjoy!

This museum is so well done. Lots of history, lots of items, and a staff that is so passionate about preserving impact parts of our past. I went 6-8 years ago and it was good. When I took some family recently, it was so much better and expanded a lot. Definitely a hidden treasure in the Akron/Canton area. Well worth a couple of hours. (Make sure to visit outside aircraft.)
