Canton Public Library

Canton Public Library is a public library in Canton, Ohio, with multiple floors containing reading spaces, research materials, and digital resources for the community. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places because of its architectural design and community role.

The library was founded in the early 1900s to provide educational resources for the growing city. The building was later recognized for its architectural design and its role in shaping the community.

The library holds extensive collections of local history materials, genealogical records, and regional writing that document how Canton and its surroundings developed over time. These materials connect visitors to the community's own past and identity.
