Portage County library embarks on its biggest expansion in decades

- Wendy DiAlesandro

After narrowly passing a landmark levy, the Portage County District Library is expanding services throughout Portage County and will soon open a new branch in Brimfield in partnership with the township.

Brimfield Township trustees used American Rescue Plan money to buy the building at 4286 Kelso Drive on Aug. 15 for $468,000. Formerly a day care center, the interior of the building will be totally remodeled before it opens in early or mid-2023.
