Support Berkeley Public Library Whistleblowers

In 2015, 39,140 books at the Berkeley Public Library were unnecessarily discarded, including 13,580 unique or "last copy" books. Now, whistleblowers are facing termination and harassment for speaking out.

The library needs advocates for the books and its staff members. Please consider supporting this cause.
