Join us for a visit from Barberton native Conrad Storad as he reads from his new book The Bat Book: Afraid of a Bat?  What's Up with That?  A book signing will follow this event. 

Little Boy Bat lives under the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin, Texas. One day he overhears some human kids saying mean, nasty things about bats. “Bats are ugly. Bats are weird. Bats are SCARY!” Their words make him feel very sad. L.B has a long talk with his parents. L.B. decides to write and illustrate a book so that he can teach those human kids some facts and the truth about bats. The Bat Book is his creation. It includes important lessons for all of us. Most important, bats are NOT scary!
 

We want to say "thank you" for using the library. Join us for live music featuring Ian Lane on acoustic guitar by the windows on the main floor, face painting for kids in the Children’s Department, and pizza provided by Papa John's. Meet some of our board members, and enjoy the day! Thank you for being our patrons!

On February 12, 1918, the county commissioner heard a petition for the annexation of the Snydertown area into Barberton. Many residents understood annexation meant better sanitation, fire and police protection, water supply, sewage, streets, and school system for Snydertown; however, several residents objected to the annexation causing the final decision to be delayed until May 13, 1918. Come learn more about the history of Barberton's southern end.
 

Babies and toddlers (ages birth-2 years old) and their parents and/or caregivers can join us for stories, songs and fingerplays. 

The Play and Learn program  provides an opportunity for children birth to 5 years old and their parents or caregivers to play with a variety of toys that promote pre-literacy and pre-reading skills. Little ones can learn while they play at the library on Monday evenings from 6:30-7:30 as well as Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 11:00-12:00.
