Children ages birth through preschool have been read to just over 1,200 days this June & July, while children in kindergarten through fifth grade have logged nearly 52,000 minutes of reading time. That’s a lot of reading, Barberton!
Not only have kids spent a ton of time reading this summer, they’ve also spent a lot of time enjoying the Library and our wide variety of programs. Storytimes for little ones, fun activity-based programs for kids and teens, movies, performers, and trivia nights for the whole family have brought us all together this summer, and it’s been amazing.
Thank you, Barberton! We love seeing you at the Library!
