FEBRUARY
Library Board of Trustee
meetings are open to the
public.
Jan 29, Feb 26 6:30 PM
We are more than happy to
periodically deliver library materials to
patrons who are unable to come to
the library due to a disabling
condition.
Please call or email Loretta at
[email protected] for more
information.
The BPL provides access to self-
service scanning and faxing as well
as remote printing! More info at
www.berkeleypl.org/printandfax
To meet a growing need in our community, the Berkeley Library will be rolling out a series of new
volunteer opportunities in January. To start, there will be volunteer kits available for check out.
These kits will contain project work that can be done in hour increments in the library, with the li-
brary providing all of the materials and those seeking to volunteer being able to do so at their
convenience. If volunteer hours need to be tracked for school, church, or other groups, this will not
be a problem as check out and check in times for the kits will be recorded by circulation staff! If
there is enough interest in volunteering, the library will consider developing a community volunteer
squad – linking those who need help with those who are looking to provide volunteer hours. Look
for more on this in the coming year! In the meantime, come in and check out our new volunteer kits
– pun intended!
