Book Talks

Document Actions

Library Home  *  Youth Services

 

Teachers can request Youth Services Librarians to come into the classroom to do Book Talks on specific books or authors.

We give a short, gimmicky blurb about books in your selected topic without revealing the ending.  We can also book talk in conjunction with an upcoming unit of study.  Call the Youth Services desk to schedule your Book Talk!

Looking for a place to warm up?

The Berwyn Library is one of five designated warming centers within the City.

And we have so many events going on, and quiet places to read, or computers to use, it's a good place for anyone, one person or even the whole family, to spend a couple of hours out of the cold.
