Registration for this service is free.
 
The Barberton Library also has links to various employment resources.  Job Resources  connects users to many sites for job seekers: like CareerBuilder.com,  JobWeb and USA Jobs.

The Power of Cooperation
 
The Barberton Public Library is a member of a regional cooperative partnership called Clevnet. This is a resource sharing consortium of more than 30 library systems across nine counties in northern Ohio. By using your Barberton Library card, you have shared access to more than ten million items, exclusive online subscription resources, and a rich collection of downloadable media. 
 
As a Barberton Library card holder, you can:
  • Borrow materials from any of the 30+ participating library systems. 
  • Have items brought to you from any of the 30+ participating library systems. Participating libraries include: Cleveland Public Library, Hudson Library & Historical Library, Twinsburg Public Library, Peninsula Public Library, Medina County District Library, Wayne County Public Library, and Orrville Public Library.
  • Return any Clevnet materials to Barberton Library. 
  • Check your library account, place holds, and renew material online through the "My Account" feature.
  • Access subscription-only online resources covering topics such as car repair, genealogy, consumer information, and medical information.
  • Connect to the eMedia collection to download audiobooks, eBooks, music, and videos from your home or office computer. 
If you would like assistance with any of these features, a staff member would be happy to help you!
