Outreach


Our definition of service extends into the community.

It is the Library’s mission to provide services to all members of our community. As part of this effort, each of our departments provides outreach services. The Children's Department visits schools, preschools, and daycare centers located in Barberton, as well as hosts certain programs outside of the Library. Our teen librarian visits the high school and middle school to host book clubs. The Reference Department provides home delivery services and has lobby stops around Barberton once a month.
