Barberton Public Library Careers in Cleveland, OH

The Barberton Public Library first opened its doors April 7, 1903. At the time, Barberton was little more than a decade old, but residents already recognized the need for a public library in their new town. A committee of local women championed the cause, securing $1,500 in donations to help fund the project. Town founder O.C. Barber supplied 2,400 volumes for the collection, and an additional 1,000 titles were donated or purchased with funds from residents. Today, the Barberton Public Library houses a dynamic collection of more than 140,000 items and offers weekly programs for children, families, teens and adults. Via membership in the Clevnet library consortium, library users have access to a catalog of more than ten million items, including eMedia and a wide variety of databases. Through a partnership with Summa Barberton Hospital, the Library also provides access to a wide range of consumer health information at a branch located on the first floor of the hospital.
