"The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books."

—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935) American associate justice, US Supreme Court

A note about our site - March 11, 2009:

These pages were first put together in April 2008, and are constantly evolving.  Individual departments are responsible for their own pages, so the content of the entire site is a joint effort by multiple Berwyn Library staff members.

Many of these staff members had no prior experience putting together web pages, so this has been a rewarding challenge. As we approach the close of our first year with this new site, those of you who have been with us have probably noticed a lot of improvement in it, as we gain in ability and grow confidence in our newly acquired skills.

We're still working on it, and we have a lot of fun devising new ways to share information with you. If you have constructive suggestions, we'd appreciate hearing them.  Thank you for spending your time with us; we hope you find our pages worth reading for another year, and come to visit us - online and in person - often.
