Policies

Library Policies
At the Barberton Public Library, we encourage the use of Library facilities and services for learning and enrichment. To preserve the availability of our resources to the Barberton community, Library staff and the Board of Trustees have created the following policies. These policies are created for the purpose of maintaining the Library as a safe and welcoming environment for all who visit. We ask that all patrons and staff abide by these policies.

Now & Forever Fund

The Barberton Public Library Now & Forever fund was established by the Library Board of Trustees in order to seek, receive, and administer gifts, bequests, and donations for the support and preservation of the Barberton Public Library, beyond the level of taxpayer responsibility and in a manner consistent with the mission and goals of the library.  All gifts great and small are welcome. The fund may receive donations from individuals, organizations, and corporations.
