Life-long enrichment characterizes the North Hill Branch Library experience. Opportunities for learning and entertainment for customers of all ages abound in the library’s programming – from preschool story times to live concerts and craft classes, from book discussions to stitching and cooking, from ESOL classes to live theater performances. A diverse collection of books, movies, and music for all tastes and interests are available for borrowing. The library provides access to computers, WiFi, copiers, scanning and faxing.

Working closely with local organizations serving immigrants and refugees in their first phase of their resettlement in our city and those working with senior citizens in the neighborhood, North Hill Branch Library continues a strong tradition of serving both Akron’s newest community members and those families who have made Akron their home for generations. There’s something for everyone at the North Hill Branch Library.

Gum-Dip Theatre celebrates, challenges, and reinvents community identity through choose-what-you-pay performances, story circles, workshops, and multicultural events. Gum-Dip Theatre creates theatre as a vehicle for practicing different factual and imaginary versions of oneself, for representing the narratives that are often ignored, and for elevating voices and identities that are not included in the mainstream.
