IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc03)LITERACY & DIGITAL INCLUSION: BPLF helped the library purchase smart screen technologies, laptop computers for lending, and self-serve machines to help expand broader onsite and offsite public access. To help meet additional community needs during the pandemic the BPLF purchased Brainfuse for the library, an online learning and tutoring platform, designed to build the skills of job seekers, and provide on-demand, expert online tutoring in math, science, social studies, writing, and English for all ages. The BPLF also launched a new literacy on-line project especially for children and families called Reading is Instrumental, a virtual read-aloud program which is co-produced with the Berkeley Symphony. It pairs celebrity guest readers with musical accompaniment. The project began when library buildings were closed and no in person story times were allowed. The popular project has continued to produce offerings with an expected sunset after library services return to pre-pandemic levels.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0ADDITIONAL The BPLF produces occasional events to advocate for and promote the essential role of the Berkeley Public Library in serving the public. This year, we offered a free online program called Libraries Are Central on March 13, 2021 an online celebration hosted by Roman Mars providing a sneak peek inside the newly renovated Central Library spaces with music, dance, theater, stories, and poetry by notable library lovers from Berkeley and beyond.
