Library News – January 2024
Berkshire Free Library
Tuesday – Friday, Noon to 5 PM,
Saturday, 9AM – 2PM
It’s January again. This is a time we look back on 2023 and remember all the programs, book that have been borrowed, and all the new friends we have made this year. In January, we are also looking forward to 2024.
- Save the date, July 20, for our Blueberry and Book Festival. We are looking forward to another fun festival in 2024.
- January also gives us a chance to compare our success in book circulation for the last year. People borrowed 10 thousand and 1 hundred books this year. In dollars and cents, that is equal to about $350,000 in free resources that we have provided for our community. 10% of the circulation was ebooks and audiobooks.
- Some of the top books read in Berkshire this year were:
- Horse by Geraldine Brooks,
- Angel of Darkness, by Caleb Carr,
- Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Come take out one of these popular books and see what everyone is talking about.
- This year, we have made it easier for you to donate to the Library by using your credit card. Go to our website, berkshirefreelibrary.org and school down to the bottom of the first page. You will see the picture of the library and the donate button.
