The Dover Public Library will hold a free community open house Sunday, April 12, from 2-5 p.m.

“We invite the community to come ‘check us out,’” said Jim Gill, library director. “We are excited to show off some of the amazing programs and services we offer at the library. Today’s public library is more than just books. From our Maker Lounge to our Local History Room and beyond, there is so much more that today’s library offers the community. We are free and open to all.”

Members of the public will be given a “library passport” that will help them explore the programs and services available to them. Those who complete the passport will be entered in a drawing for prizes, including a Nintendo Switch and a Best of Dover gift basket featuring gift cards to local restaurants and shops.

There also will be live music featuring the Tuscarawas Philharmonic Children’s Chorus, the orchestra from Dover High School and the Library Ukes of Dover. Refreshments also will be provided, compliments of the Friends of the Library.

The Dover Public Library is located at 525 N. Walnut St. For more information, contact the library at 330-343-6123 or director@doverlibrary.org.
