If you have read a good book lately and would like to share your enthusiasm, send a short review to director@berlinlibrary.org and we will post it on our web site. No names will be used and we reserve the right to edit.
Have you tried dowloading e-books from our free resource "OVERDRIVE". We have held several workshops explaining how to download to your own Nook or Kindle or other e-reader. If you have missed the workshops and would like to get started downloading e-books, handouts of instructions for your devise are available at the library. For personal help call for an appointment and arrangements will be made to assist you. Another popular resource for the travel season are Playaways. These personal MP3 players are loaded with one book title and can be listened to individually with the addition of earphones and an AA battery. There are converters available that allow you to play the device through your car speaker system by hooking into the earphone jack. Books like "Touching Spirit Bear" may be enjoyed by the whole family as you drive.
Our May programs will allow a trip into the paranormal with Noah Leigh, as well as a poetry reading and a book discussion. The library will be hosting kindergarten visits and will be visiting the area sschools to promote the summer reading program. We will have movie nights as well. Please check the calendar for dates and times for these programs.
Although summer may seem a long way off, plans have already been set in motion for our Summer Reading Program. This year's theme is "Dream Big, READ!". In addition to our regular craft program and bedtime storytime, we will be hosting programs from Corcoran Puppets, Steve Russell and Kobi Shaw, jugglers, and Dan Nedrelo with a variety of reptiles and amphibians. We will be offering a bonus to our summer readiers of a Pool Party at the Berlin Community Pool. Admission and a snack voucher will be available to those who have completed three weeks of reading with the summer program.
