Canton Public Library

Congratulations to the winners of our 2026 LEGO Building Contest! This year, our patrons dreamed up all kinds of unique creatures and the worlds they call home.

Thank you to everyone who participated—we loved seeing all the creativity and thoughtful details that went into this year's entries.

Celebrate Pride Month through the power of stories. 🌈 Librarian Stacey's LGBTQ+ book display features reads that explore identity, connection and community, with even more recommendations available on our website: https://bit.ly/CPLPride.

Loved collecting our community-designed summer stickers last year? This year, your design could be one of them! 🎨

Ever spot someone shelving materials in the library? It may have been Alex, one of our Substitute Pages, helping keep everything organized.

Her latest recommendation is “Swallows” by Natsuo Kirino, a thought-provoking contemporary novel exploring motherhood, class and body autonomy.

Alex was drawn to the book because it focuses on surrogacy, and she appreciated how it explores an increasingly relevant topic.

“This book really brings attention to why women opt in or out of being a surrogate,” Alex says. “As medical and reproductive technology continues to develop, these conversations will become more prevalent.”

The library will be closed Sunday, May 24 and Monday, May 25, as we observe Memorial Day.

While we’re away from the building, your library card is still hard at work—ready whenever you are! Dive into e-books, audiobooks, movies, and databases anytime at www.cantonpl.org.

We’ll be back in action on Tuesday, May 26, at 9:00 AM.
