About the Library and Community
Stow Library was founded in May 1924 as a school district library with a Board of Trustees appointed by the Board of Education. Located in the Township Hall close to the town center, it served both Stow and Munroe Falls, as it does today. Jessie Williamson, daughter of Adella Durbin, was the first librarian of Stow Public Library. Mrs. Williamson was sent for library training at Western Reserve University for one month in the summer of 1924, at the expense of the Trustees. The library officially opened to the public in January 1925. In 2024, the Library celebrated its 100th anniversary, and over the past several years, has undergone many significant improvements and enhancements including indoor renovations, development of new outdoor spaces, increased access to print and digital materials via CLEVNET, and new mobile services programming, including bookmobile service. The mission of the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library is to provide the community with resources and opportunities for life-long learning that support intellectual freedom, curiosity, and creativity. It also aims to promote the well-being of the community through programs and cooperative efforts with other community agencies, public and private. To learn more, visit: smfpl.org
Located in northern Summit County, the neighboring communities of Stow and Munroe Falls have a combined population of approximately 40,000 residents and share a largely suburban character. The area includes a mix of established single-family neighborhoods, newer residential developments, and smaller, more traditional residential enclaves, with Stow functioning as the primary commercial and civic center and Munroe Falls maintaining a quieter, predominantly residential profile. The community offers access to a range of local amenities, including retail corridors, restaurants, community facilities, and public parks, as well as nearby regional assets such as the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail. With highly regarded schools, easy access to Akron, Kent, and Cleveland, and a balance of natural beauty and modern conveniences, the Stow–Munroe Falls area provides an attractive place to live, work, and connect.
