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.
