Current efforts include upgrading furniture, technology, and lighting at the four neighborhood libraries, redesigning the Central Librarys 4th-floor story room, and completing refurbishments at the North and Claremont Branches.

Program 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.
