Art at the Library The Akron-Summit County Public Library has maintained a commitment to supporting local artists by acquiring and installing their works at Main Library and its branches. As Main Library was being planned and constructed, local artists were commissioned to create works to be permanently installed in the new building. The collection was acquired for the library by interior designer, Mrs. Luke Lietzke and funded through donations from clubs, companies, and individuals, . Mrs. Lietzke worked closely with architects Tuchman-Canute to acquire art and select locations within the Library that would be best suited for each piece. In 1969, when Main Library opened, the total collection was valued at $70,000. Before the Main Library underwent its expansion in 1999, all of the artwork that could be removed from the building was taken to an art conservation facility for storage. The architect, Gwathmey Siegel designed some spaces specifically to accommodate the larger pieces. Much of the original artwork, as well as some new pieces may be found today in the newly renovated building which opened in October 2004. In 1997, the Akron-Summit County Public Library committed to renovating or replacing each of its branches. Each of these buildings house interesting works of art that were specifically designed with that particular building in mind. Because the library has a history of supporting local artists by acquiring and installing their works at Main Library and all branches, as renovations took place, local artists were commissioned to create works of art that were designed and installed specifically at Main Library and each branch.
