The United Book Cart Drill Team of Northeast Ohio

The Twins Days Festival takes place on the first full weekend in August, and is open to all identical and fraternal twins, triplets, quadruplets and their families. On Saturday, the Double Take Parade begins at 9 a.m. on the square in Twinsburg.

This year, the parade will be featuring the United Libraries Book Cart Drill Team of Northeast Ohio, a precision drill team made up of librarians from different libraries around the northeast. In an effort to show cooperation between libraries, Beth Hatch, a reference librarian at Twinsburg Public Library, coordinated the effort to bring libraries together to support one another with a brigade to benefit all participating libraries with their special events. This year’s team consists of 3 Twinsburg librarians, Beth Hatch, Mark Simon, and Peggy Myers, and Bea Adzema, a volunteer at the library. Joining the team are librarians, Gerry Bray from Hubbard Public Library in tow with her her sixteen month old twins to ride on the float; Barbara Gercken from Barberton Public Library; and Carol Hawthorne from the Warrensville branch of the Cuyahoga Public Library.
