What's going on at the Berlin Public Library?

Upcoming Programs

The weather is clear for us to meet in the library garden and learn about what it takes to be a beekeeper. There will even be some honey to sample!

For teens ages 12-18. We will be celebrating summer vacation by tie dyeing! We will be providing canvas totes, but teens are welcome to bring a shirt or anything else they wish to dye. Weather permitting, supplies are limited so registration is required.

Davis Bates joins us on June 22nd for a generation-spanning sing along, including playing the spoons and Bingo the dancing wooden dog.

Goldfish Swim School and their mascot Bubbles will be stopping by the library and teaching kids about how to stay safe in and around the water this summer. This will be a fun and engaging program with a story and activities, and all kids will receive a water safety goody bag. Registration is requested for this program as there is a minimum participation required for the program to run.

As part of our strategic planning process we will be holding a feedback session. This is a chance for all members of the community, whether they use the library or not, to share ideas about their visions of Berlin and the future of the library. We hope you will join us!

Summer Reading Book Clubs for Teens and Adults

Registration is open for our summer reading book clubs! Each month this summer, adults and teens will read a book that matches the theme Read, Renew, Repeat, and then we’ll come together to discuss what we thought about the book. Readers can sign up for one month, or for all three. Once you register, we will request a copy of the book on your behalf.

In June, adults will be discussing The Half-Known Life: In Search of Paradise by Pico Iyer, and teens will be discussing The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline.

Our summer reading program is running until August 15th. Find more information about how to participate and what the incentives are at berlin.cwmars.org/summerreading.
