What kind of music helps you brave the chilly weather?
Our December listening party is all about music that warms the heart and soul — whether it’s current events, the lack of sunshine, or the literal wind chill factor that has you wishing for warmer, sunnier days.
We’ll take turns playing songs and sharing why we chose them for this session. You can also attend just to listen, relax, and spend time with fellow music lovers.
Don’t forget to wear your favorite sweater! 🧣
Bring Your Own Music! 💿🎶
(Or search through the library’s collection! 😊)
Feel free to bring songs on vinyl, CD, or cassette. We can also stream songs for you if you don’t have a copy of the song you want to share.
Bring Your Own Mug! 🍵
We will be serving hot tea and hot apple cider.
What is the Berkeley Record Club?
Berkeley Record Club is a series of music appreciation programs by the Berkeley Public Library.
Our current programming is centered around themed listening parties. During these sessions, library staff highlight gems from BPL’s music collection, while also inviting community members to bring music from their personal collections (or perhaps find their new favorites in the library!) to share with the rest of the group.
We host listening parties on 2nd Tuesday evenings of the month, 6-7:30 PM, at the Art & Music floor (5th floor) of the Central Library in Downtown Berkeley.
Stay tuned for more programs! Check the BRC webpage (coming soon), the BPL event calendar, or follow the library’s social media channels or updates.
