Making a Better Future Possible
Be part of our story as we create magical new spaces for children and families, champion bold librarian-led innovations, and advance strategic initiatives that spark creativity and strengthen community connections. Donations, sponsorships, legacy gifts, and the proceeds from our special events, such as our recent concert, Where Music Meets Imagination: The Story Time Band, and our February Annual Authors Dinner, all help our Library grow, dream big, and thrive.
Reading Is
Instrumental
Reading Is Instrumental was co-produced by the Library Foundation and the Berkeley Symphony during the pandemic to help the library offer storytimes for children while the buildings were closed. This all-star lineup, who read favorite children’s books accompanied by musicians, is still available on our website for all to enjoy.
