Friends of the Library


The Friends of the Barberton Public Library exists to help enrich the services and materials provided to the community by the library.  Through Friends support, additional programs and services that cannot be included in the Library's tax-supported budget are made possible.  Special events, support for the summer reading programs, and an expanded calendar of programs are examples of projects made possible by the Friends of the Library.

The Friends of the Library has two main sources of funding: the generous support of members who pay yearly dues and the revenues generated by book sales.  

Won’t you consider joining? 
 
Members of the Friends of the Library receive the library newsletter mailed to their home and are also entitled to attend pre-sale night, prior to advertised book sales.  Book sales are usually held in the spring and the fall.  Members may choose to attend monthly meetings, usually held the third Wednesday of the month at 5:00pm in the Children’s Room, and are invited to serve on the committees as interest and availability dictate.  Membership starts at just $3.00 per year!  Current membership fees are:
Student  $3.00                 Patron   $30.00 and up
Individual  $5.00              Club or Business   $50.00 and up
Family  $10.00

  • Email the Friends of the Library at bplfriends@aol.com and request an application be sent to you;
  • Pick up a membership application at the Library;

Monthly meetings are generally held on the third Wednesday of the month at 5:00pm in the Children's Room. 

You are invited to attend!

 


 

The Friends' newest project is to make t-shirts available! Priced at just $10, they even make great gifts. Shirts are available in adult sizes from small to 2XL and are light gray with purple graphics. Shirts can be purchased by calling Elizabeth at 330-745-3358.
