In the twenty year period the collection has grown to 15,000 books. In addition to the books, the North Canton Library has the benefit of 77 .periodicals, 10,000 pamphlets, 1500 pictures including .many fine Art reproductions and -400 pieces of sheet music. Approximately 1,000,000 hooks and periodicals were circulated in* the twenty year span—r-an annual per capita circulation of 15. The circulation figures rank with those in communities two to three times the size of-North Canton. In addition "to hooks and periodicals hundreds of pictures are also circulated. jj?he registration of patrons grew apace with the growth of the library and today, the library has approximately 4100 registered patrons. The large majority of these borrowers are local residents but about 1800 registrations are of people living in Canton and in twenty of the other surrounding communities. The non-residents include a large number of Hoover Company employees who make use of the library during the lunch period. Just three years after the opening of the library, the first Art show was held in the North Can ton Library. This was sponsored by the Art Committee of the North Canton Woman's club and attracted visitors from the surrounding areas as well as from, the town itself. For a few years, these exhibits were annual events; eventually becoming a year round project, managed by the library staff, with new shows featured each month. Early in the nineteen forties, an Art director was appointed to handle the project; at this time the first annual May show was held during which local talent in painting, drawing, photograph and handicrafts, was £|iven the opportunity to exhibit its Art work. Six annual May shows have been held to date and attracts to The Little Art "Gallery many hundreds of visitors, ".both local and from outly- areas. "New Shows, including many of national repute are -brought to the Art Gallery each month.
