IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The BPLFs current priorities include bringing enhancements to the Berkeley Builds Readers family literacy project; establishing hands on science literacy for all ages using the Cornerstones of Science model; and making needed capital improvements to the downtown Central Library to serve our multigenerational community well into the 21st century. This past year the BPLF approved funding to help move forward the design and development plans for a new teen space at the Central Library; a new laptop lounge that will provide greater access to technology for those in need; and a Building A Culture of Innovation training with the LUMA Institute that includes funding for projects designed by library staff.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Our 15th Annual Authors Dinner was held in February honoring 32 authors and celebrating the rich literary tradition of Berkeley and the Bay Area. The Foundations popular AfterWORDS series launched 12 events featuring authors, artists, and thinkers serving 235 people. 55 people enjoyed meeting and hearing public library historian Wayne Wiegand in the final installment of the Weininger Lecture.
