Community Accessibility The library has a growing focus on accessibility with initiatives like The Accessibility Library and partnerships such as Summit DD, presenting a sales opportunity for accessibility tech, assistive devices, sensory-friendly event services, and inclusive digital content solutions.

Hybrid Learning With a mission centered on learning and a breadth of programs for all ages, there is potential to offer digital learning platforms, remote access tools, and content subscriptions that complement in-library resources and expand reach for remote patrons.

Digital Inclusion Pilot programs delivering hotspots and smartspots indicate demand for connectivity services; opportunities exist to provide affordable connectivity solutions, device lending ecosystems, and network management services for patrons at home and on the go.

Community Partnerships Active collaborations with local organizations (First Energy Foundation, Progressive Alliance CDC, METRO, Akron Beacon Journal) suggest openings for co-branded programs, grant-funded technology initiatives, and sponsored library events or digital literacy workshops.

Technology Stack Current tech stack includes cloud, open source, and web technologies; potential upsell of modern library systems, cloud-based catalog/CRM enhancements, data analytics, and developer-friendly tools to optimize operations and user experience.
