IRS990/MissionDesc0The Berkeley Public Library Foundation BPLF amplifies the public investment to make a great public library extraordinary. We believe libraries connect us, build our community, expand our world, and change lives. To those ends, we provide funds and ongoing advocacy to advance the Library's mission and goals. We provide the resources needed for innovations, literacy projects, and building improvements not already covered by bond measures and City taxes.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Program 2. INNOVATION & INCLUSION. The BPLF advances the Berkeley Public Library's mission by supporting equity, diversity, and inclusion through librarian-led initiatives. This year, we funded sewing machines and materials for classes, which have been met with great success. We expanded the discussion book bundle series on racial equity and identity and supported a personal hygiene kit pilot project initiated by the library's first-ever social worker. Hygiene essentials like soap, shampoo, and sanitary products are available at all library locations.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Program 3. LITERACY. The BPLF continues to support literacy through Berkeley Builds Readers, which extends literacy resources, tutoring, and storytime programming to underserved areas. New creative software and a Moog music machine have enhanced digital and art literacy. The Foundation's Annual Authors Dinner, celebrating local authors and the Bay Area's literary history, brought together over 250 people to honor 21 authors and celebrate the Claremont Librarys Centennial Anniversary while also serving as an important fundraiser for the library.
