BERKELEY PUBLIC LIBRARY TAKING PART IN "SNAPSHOT: ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES"
Berkeley Public Library will compile statistics, users' comments, photographs, and other data chronicling a typical library day. The results collected at Berkeley Public Library will be added to those of other libraries across California, by the California Library Association (CLA), to show how libraries provide invaluable services to California citizens. For more info on statewide Snapshot Day, go to cla-net.org.
Berkeley Public Library is also planning programs that day for patrons of all ages. We will take photos & collect comments. For more info, call 510-981-6107.
