Contact Berkeley Public Library Children's Services
At the Berkeley Public Library, the children's staff is ready to help kids, teachers, parents and others looking for children's materials. We can recommend good books, find information, help you use the online catalog or the Internet, treat you to a good story, or consult with you about homework. We invite classes or groups for a tour and we welcome families to our special events. Each summer, we offer a Summer Reading Game for kids through 8th grade and recruit volunteers for our Student Friends program. Ask us about other ways in which the public library may be of service.
