Thank You!

The Children's Department would like to thank the Pfouts family for their generous donation in memory of Dalton 'Tucker' Pfouts.  From this donation, we were able to purchase an additional $3,000 worth of children's books this year.  We truly appreciate this sizeable contribution to our children's collection.

Launch-A-Young-Reader 

Beginning with the 2000-01 school year, the Burton Public Library began a project to promote reading and early library use among kindergarten children in the Berkshire School District and surrounding areas. Called 'Launch-a-Young-Reader', our program gives each new kindergartner a gift bag containing a hardcover children's book, an application for a library card, materials of interest to parents, and a coupon entitling the child to another gift when he or she next visits our library. This project was founded and continued for 9 years with small individual donations. In 2009, the Durket family generously agreed to fund this program for many years to come in memory of Mr. Jospeh Durket.  Mr. Durket was long-time principal of Burton Elementary School in the 1950s and 60s.  We are grateful to the Durket family for this wonderful gift.

The cost for each gift bag is approximately $25. Donations to the Joseph Durket Launch-A-Young-Reader Fund are welcome in any amount. All donations are tax deductible. 
We thank you for your support!

Sick Kid's Kits

Did you know the library offers Sick Kid's Kits?  
If you have a child sick at home, give us a call 
at 440-834-4466 and let us know your child's interests.  
We'll choose some books, magazines, movies, etc. that 
your child would enjoy, pack them up, and check them out to you.  
We'll also include a small get-well gift.  
Then you can just run in, pick up the bag, and be on your way.
