What happens at the library when it's closed? We will share our mysterious world at night with your stuffed animals at North Branch's Stuffed Animal Sleepover.
Drop off your stuffed animal to North Branch on January 26 and January 27. When you drop off your stuffy, you will sign permission slips and name tags. If you want, you can read a bedtime story to your stuffed animal and say goodnight.
The Berkeley Public Library is happy to have Mike Perlmutter and Zina Pozen from Saul Goodman's Klezmer Band perform at the Central Branch on January 13th. Their sound draws from their modern cosmopolitan surroundings while being firmly rooted in traditional Jewish folk music tracing centuries back from Eastern Europe. Their music “brings people together and lifts their spirits and energies”. They strive to keep it "all good man" wherever they perform.
