Library
Expansion of the Orrville Public Library is now complete and filled the need for more space, more technology, and more programming.

Its current inventory includes 66,000 books, 3,500 videocassettes, and 5,600 recordings. Six Internet-access computers are housed in the library, and adding computers in the children's department is part of the plan for the expansion and remodeling project.
