Hip hop lit pop-up sale at the Friends Central Library bookstore, April 27-28. Otherwise known as urban fiction, street romance, and definitely hot stuff. Hustlin’ divas, drug lords, thugs, and gangstas. Supply is limited, $1 each.
Quiet on the set! Director Daniel Shapiro, Producer Ani Walsh, and a cast and crew of UC students turned the Friends Channing Way bookstore into a movie set for a day. It was not a far stretch to conjure a library setting, as our sales desk and work table are actual library furniture. When the Moon Wore my Face is characterized as “a genre-bending film that touches on experimental horror, surrealist themes, and absurdist comedy”. Friends volunteers enjoyed the experience of being “extras” - even if we were just on the edge watching. Look for the production at a film festival near you!

Are you a fan of the King? Well, put on your blue suede shoes and get on down to the Friends Channing bookstore. We received a lovely collection of Elvis CDs. On sale now!
The Friends applaud Berkeley youth poets and Berkeley Public Library for the Youth Poet Laureate program. These voices need to be heard. An inspiring evening, Friends happy to sponsor the snacks for poets, friends and families.
Our volunteers are super cleaners! Look around when you come back to the Channing bookstore on Saturday January 3. Every thing neat and clean. Thank you volunteers!
The Friends of the Berkeley Public Library will be participating in this festive event. We’ll be in the old Books, Inc. space selling used books (in very nice condition) and hyper local and authentic t-shirts (new condition!). We look forward to seeing you!
