The branch will offer access to books, technology and programming for people of all ages at a central, accessible location. It will be located in the 2,500-square-foot storefront in the JCPenney concourse, near the children's indoor play area and across from Mercy Health St. Joe's at the Mall. Along with materials available for checkout, the library plans to offer Internet-accessible computers, printers and Wi-Fi for public use, as well as programming for children, teens and adults. 'The Eastwood Mall Complex is a thriving community destination with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment options,' said Jim Wilkins, W-TCPL's executive director. 'This is a wonderful opportunity to provide library services and support to the people who regularly shop, visit, and work there.'

Local library permanently closing this summer
LORDSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library announced on Tuesday that its Lordstown location will be closing permanently this summer. According to the library's website, the Board of Trustees 'regretfully made the decision to close the branch after careful consideration of the library's circulation and usage numbers.' 'The library board regularly reviews library usage to ensure that we are utilizing the funds we are entrusted with in a fiscally responsible way,' said Executive Director Jim Wilkins in a news release. 'This was a difficult decision but one that we believe will allow us to best serve the entire Trumbull County community.' The release said that two staff members who work at the Lordstown location will be relocated to other libraries. Wilkins also said they may include Bookmobile stops in the village and other programming options. The library will permanently close at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 27. All library materials must be returned by this date or to another Warren-Trumbull County Public Library location. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
