As we turn the page on 2023, all of us at Berkeley Public Library wish you the very best for the year ahead. We look forward to wowing you with engaging programs, offering you lots of good new reads and welcoming you warmly into our libraries in 2024. Happy New Year!
Bring your planner, desk calendar, digital dailies, and stacks of post-it notes... we're going to make your schedule work for you! We'll review bullet journals, passion planners, and internet-based calendars to help you match your needs to the right tools.
Join us for a workshop where we will create colorful planners using a free, online software tool called Canva. Once created, librarians will be available to print and laminate your created calendar so you can take it home with you.
Take a photo with your loved ones (chosen family included!) using your device on a throne at the Library. We will print it and then you can use our crafting supplies to make it into something fun!
Insights from job postings allow you to “try on” the duties and responsibilities, sense the organization culture, assess the employer’s expectations, and evaluate your opportunity to move into a desirable career path. Do they fit you?
Come join your neighbors in connecting, learning and resource sharing! Bring some extra garden harvest, clothes, books, tools you no longer need, a dish or beverage to share, or just your interest in building a resilient community for this monthly program. This month's conversation will explore alternatives to the plastic things in our lives and sharing our personal tricks for moving towards a plastic-free future.
Central Mondays: January 22nd & 29th, February 5th & 12th 4pm and 4:30pm sessions
Reading buddies build confidence in young readers and makes reading fun. Kids will be paired with a teen mentor for 30 minutes to read together and play word games.
