LIBRARYGATE:   Community coalition exposes Fraud, Waste, and Abuse by Berkeley Library Director Explosive new documents reveal an illegal and unethical cover up of the destruction of tens of thousands of books/items  from the Berkeley Public Library (BPL) in 2015.

Retired Librarians, Authors, and booklovers … Continued

The final PRC meeting before summer recess. (The next meeting will be September 9) Note that the meeting will be a long one, starting at 6pm rather than 7pm and concluding at 10pm. The reason for the extended length is that we are at the city council’s deadline for a report-back on the investigation of the police response to the BlackLivesMatter protest of December 6. Even if we have to ask the council for a time extension, it is important that we make every effort to complete the investigation as quickly as possible, so … Continued
