Orrville Public Library celebrates a century of operations

Since 1925, the Orrville Public Library has been providing books and other media conducive to lifelong learning and supplementing the educational needs of school-age children.

However, according to Director Daphne Silchuk-Ashcraft, at a recent 100-year celebration held in the library, it is much more than a collection of books.

“The library has been a sanctuary for curious minds, a gateway to new worlds and the cornerstone of our community,” Ashcraft said. “Founded in 1925, the Orrville Public Library has witnessed generations of learners, dreamers and storytellers walking through our doors, each leaving their own mark on this legacy.”
