Dear Readers,
Do you have your summer reading list ready? Mine seems to grow longer by the day! The summer theme at
Berkeley Public Library
A Universe of Stories
has plenty to delight every age and interest. I'm already reading a wonderful collection of stories in
How A Mountain Was Made
by the Foundation's
2019 Honored Author
Greg Sarris
.
Indeed, all of our past honorees make splendid resources to expand a must-read-list.
We have a lot to share with you this month so be sure to read to the end. Learn how the the Foundation's been
busy putting your donations to work
, and you won't want to miss the short video which features
Berkeley READS
and shares a
true story of how the library changes lives.
We said a fond farewell to staffer
Emily Algire
who's moved to a new home and life across the Bay. And then managed to hire someone with the same first name! You'll enjoy getting to know
Emily Brown
anytime you call in or stop by. And please do, we love to hear from you.
As we approach the end of our fiscal year, we hope you will consider making a gift. Donations to
memorialize a loved one, or honor a graduation, birthday, or special day
are especially encouraged this time of year. Thanks for being an important part of the community of supporters that make the Library so great.
Have a wonderful summer, keep cool!
Kathy
