Berkeley Public Library's children's story room is back at Central, cuter than ever, and completely free as always.

• Books for the whole family
• Educational toys and learning resources
• Brand new story room with cozy seating for a variety of events
• Free story times, events and activities year-round

Come see for yourself. It's pretty, it's free, and it's right here in Berkeley.

A big thank you to Berkeley Public Library Foundation and their 600 generous donors, including funding partners the Bernard E. & Alba Witkin Charitable Foundation and the Friends of the Berkeley Public Library, for making this beautiful new space possible.

Berkeley has a long history with recycling. Rooted in the environmental movement, several organizations emerged in the 1970s to coordinate programs to salvage residents’ trash for sustainable reuse.

Learn how these organizations continue to work with the city and how you can responsibly recycle your waste. On Monday, June 22 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm, the Central library will host the City of Berkeley’s Zero Waste Division to answer your questions and show you what to do with the things you no longer want.
