      Library service to the Kenmore area began with a lending library started by a local citizen. The Akron Public Library took over the service in 1930. The current building opened on January 4, 1957. It had a larger, and more expensive collection than any branch library previously opened. The books alone cost $9,949.64.
      Current library statistics show that Kenmore Branch circulated 142,160 items in 2008 and has a current collection of 52,170 items.
      We are open 6 days a week to meet your needs for education, information and recreation.
      Our friendly, skilled staff includes a branch and adult services librarian, two librarians serving children from babies through high school age, public service assistants, and student assistants.
