4 minutesBerkeley Public Library is only a 4-minute walk from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station. Marvel at this library’s exterior architecture and try not to get lost in its five-floor magnitude. This Central Berkeley branch was founded in 1882 with only $100 to start building and 54 donated books. Now, it's a large community center for learning. The library offers beginner computer classes and middle school coding classes as well family and toddler storytimes. For a full list of events see their calendar.

Raquel is a young food justice advocate pursuing a degree in sustainable agriculture and food systems. Apart from writing, she personalizes scrumptious vegan soup recipes and works on an urban farm in the East Bay. She polishes her Spanish (and her moves) at Latin dance socials and bikes the Bay Trail at sunset. After wet winters you can find Raquel on a forest hike, foraging for apricot-orange chanterelles, her favorite fungus for biscuit baking.
