Twinsburg Public Library

What Twinsburg Public Library does

Twinsburg Public Library is a municipal public library operating as a political subdivision of the State of Ohio under Ohio Revised Code, governed by an independent seven-member Board of Trustees. Founded in 1900 and headquartered at 10050 Ravenna Road, Twinsburg, Ohio, the library serves residents of Twinsburg, Twinsburg Township, and Reminderville through a main facility, a bookmobile, free home delivery for homebound patrons, and a digital lending platform.

The library's service portfolio spans a traditional physical collection (books, movies, CDs, DVDs, board games), digital collections delivered via OverDrive/Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy, and a differentiated set of creator-oriented facilities including a color-coded Makerspace (3D printing via Bambu P1S at $0.05/gram, sublimation, heat presses, sewing, Cricut), a soundproof Media Lab with Adobe Creative Cloud and analog-to-digital conversion, and a Library of Things exceeding 150 unique items plus 350+ board games. Its core technology stack is the CLEVNET consortium system, which integrates catalog, circulation, and digital content across over 500 Ohio libraries. Community services include a U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility, free notary, test proctoring, meeting/study rooms, a bookmobile, and an Art Gallery.

The library is funded primarily through local tax revenues and government allocations, with supplemental donations and volunteer support from two affiliated nonprofit entities: the Friends of the Twinsburg Public Library (established 1994, contributing $20,000 annually to programming) and The Foundation of the Twinsburg Public Library (a 501(c)(3) established in 2000 that finances capital improvements such as the bookmobile, Reading Garden, and the ROOM). Pricing is predominantly free at point of use, with nominal fees for select transactional services (printing, 3D printing, passport photos, technology lending late fees) and a tiered Friends membership.
