IRS990/Desc01) BUILDING PROJECTS. The Foundation (BPLF) helps the Berkeley Public Library reimagine, renovate and outfit library spaces. The current project is the renovation of the 4th-floor Story Room at the Central Library and master planning for the children's floor as a whole. The Story Room is a well-used and beloved space for Library programs such as twice-weekly toddler storytimes, middle school book clubs, author visits, guest storytellers, science exploration, and playtimes with legos, giant blocks, and board games. It serves as a space for Berkeley Unified School District to partner with the Librarians on reading projects with children and middle school-age students. It provides a supportive space for the annual summer reading program and more. This year the BPLF helped identify and secure the library design firm needed for the project and allocated significant funds for the upcoming renovations, which include furniture repairs or replacements, upgrades to lighting, structure and wall repairs, floor coverings, new shelving and storage, and the creation of unique "wonder and curiosity elements." Attention to design elements that brighten the room is part of the plan, such as murals, interactive installations, and other thematic elements.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc02) INNOVATION & INCLUSION. The BPLF supports the mission and strategic goals of the Berkeley Public Library in part by providing funding for pilot projects and librarian-led initiatives that advance equity, diversity, and inclusion. This year the BPLF funded the Conscious Kits pilot project. It includes a curated collection of books and discussion questions on racial equity, identity, and social justice. The book bundles are for preschoolers (ages 3-5) and their adult caregivers. The pilot includes five different kits for each of the library locations. Topics include: "Identity and Belonging; "Immigration/Journey," "Social Justice," and "Disability Awareness." Books are available in English, Spanish and braille. The hope is to expand beyond the initial 25 kits after a project review period. The BPLF continued to fund the Library's commitment to digital inclusion by expanding its laptop lending program. There are now 100 laptops and hotspots available for public checkout, double the amount from the prior year.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc03) LITERACY PROJECTS. The BPLF continues to support Berkeley Builds Readers, early childhood and family literacy outreach project which brings literacy resources, tutoring, and storytime programming to underserved areas of our community. Eight outreach locations typically receive these services. After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, the BPLF's 19th Annual Authors Dinner was produced, bringing local authors and readers together to celebrate the Bay Area's literary tradition. This event, which also serves as a fundraiser for the Library, brought over 200 people together to honor 21 authors and celebrate the Foundation's 25th year of service. The Foundation's Cody Award for outstanding work to shape, broaden, and illuminate Berkeley's literary landscape was given to the Bay Area Book Festival.
