Overall, the library's circulation for the first 11 months of 2007 is 1% greater than the same period in 2006. Considering that the Navarre Branch was closed from May 25 re-opening its temporary quarters, Massillon's original bookmobile, and that the Brewster Branch was closed from May 25 until September 19 when operations began in the new library inside the Fairless Elementary School, Library Board members and Library Director Camille Leslie are pleased with the system's usage.

The operating levy passed by the citizens of the library's service district in November 2006 enabled the library to almost double the amount of dollars spent for new books, music, and movies, so the public has had many more new items to borrow this year than last.

A big change in 2008 will be the implementation of the library's new automated circulation system which will connect Massillon Public Library not only directly with Louisville and Stark County District Libraries but also with a network of several other large public libraries in the state. Patrons will be able to request through the computer titles owned by all these libraries, and the scope of Massillon Public Library's interlibrary loan capability will be much enhanced. The new system, called Innovative Interfaces, Inc., is scheduled to "go live" for the public in all library locations on February 27, 2008.
