Berrien Springs Community Library

All are invited to our outdoor kickoff event! There will be outdoor activities and indoor scavenger hunts, yummy treats, and more! Register for the Summer Reading Program and receive a small incentive gift.

Teens and adults can join the Old Jailhouse Dig at the History Center across the street for a day dig! Space is limited. Contact Diane for more informtaion.

Join Terri Fivash, author of the Dahveed books, as she shares how to dig into research. Research can not only make the settings and situations of stories live for the reader, but can, on occasion, be the foundation of the story from the very beginning. So, let's dig into research, how it's done, how to use it when you write, how to spot it in the stories you read, and why it matters.

Do you have some special and/or unusual family heirlooms that you'd like to show off? Bring them to the library for a show and tell! Each person will have a table or portion of a table to present their heirloom and can tell visitors about it. If you don't have an heirloom you can show, please stop by to see what others have to share! Let's "unearth" those stories! Click to register for Heirloom Show & Tell. You may also register in-person at the Library's Circulation Desk.

For seniors and retirees, Come travel virtually to a land rich in history and archaeological wonders. Themed refreshments will be served.
