The Barberton Public Library will promote independent thought and community interaction by providing services and resources necessary for individuals to pursue educational, creative, personal, and professional interests. The Library offers weekly programs for children, families, teens and adults. Through a partnership with Summa Hospital, the Library maintains a full service branch located on the first floor of the Barberton hospital with the focus of consumer health information. Serving the community since 1903, the library is governed by a seven member board of trustees which set the policy and direction of library services. Since 2014, the Barberton Public Library is also the site of the College Now! Greater Cleveland office serving Summit County.
