IRS990/Desc0The Foundations multi-year focus called "It's Time for Central" has raised significant funds to help bring high impact improvements and building upgrades to downtown Central Library. The new Teen Room will be doubled in size and be a great benefit to the Berkeley High School student population of 3,000 a block away. The citys homeless, underemployed, and unemployed populations who depend on the downtown library as a stepladder to professional growth will continue to be served, and the new program spaces will allow for greater freedom and opportunities for services.
