Schools and Libraries
August 14, 2023
From: Barberton Public LibraryReaders you did great! This summer children ages birth through preschool have been read too just over 1,200 days, while children in kindergarten through fifth grade have logged just over 55,000 minutes of reading time.
But don't stop yet! If you haven't collected all of your Summer Reading prizes, keep reading and we will keep handing out prizes, while supplies last, until the end of August.
We had so much fun with everyone at our programs this summer and we have more great programs coming this fall. See programs dates below and visit our website, or the library, for more details.

Join us for stories, songs, and play, in a supportive environment designed for children who may not be successful in a typical storytime experience. Storytime content generally falls within a preschool interest level, although children of all ages and abilities, including siblings, are welcome to attend.
Our storytimes are inclusive and welcoming to all abilities. Families are encouraged to attend the storytime that best meets their child's needs.
