Community Center Branch Library

The Community Center Branch opened in May 1985 in what was then known as the Canton Urban League Community Center. Though the building has changed its name to the Edward L. "Peel" Coleman Community Center, the Stark County District Library Community Center Branch has been a fixture in this building for more than 20 years.

We, the Stark County District Library, comprised of the Board of Trustees, Director, management, staff and volunteers, will base our decisions and actions on our commitment to these core values:

Service Excellence -  We take pride in providing balanced collections, extensive resources, and quality services.

Intellectual Freedom - We protect the privacy of our users while offering access to materials and services representing all points of view.

Respect for Each Individual - We recognize the dignity of each person and will preserve it in all circumstances.

Openness to Change - We thoughtfully explore new ideas and ways of doing things which support the Library as a dynamic organization.
