"Critics are by no means the end of the law. Do not think all is over with you because you articles are rejected. It may be that the editor has his drawer full, or that he does not know enough to appreciate you, or you have not gained a reputation, or he is not in a mood to be pleased. A critic's judgment is like that of any intelligent person. If he has experience, he is capable of judging whether a book will sell. That is all."

—Lavina Goodell Junior editor, Harper's Bazaar

The Berwyn Public Library participates in the Every Child Ready to Read initiative.  Learning to read and write is critical for success in school and throughout life. By starting early, we recognize learning to read begins long before a child enters school.

Our library plays a key role in disseminating information about the importance of early literacy to parents, child care providers, early childhood educators, children’s advocates and political decision makers. The Berwyn Public Library is a community partner in the common public goal of helping children become successful readers and learners.  Take a look at one of our preschool outreach storytimes.

Please call Josephine Tucci at 708-795-8000, ext. 3020 for more information.

need to get out of the weather?

The Berwyn Library is one of five designated warming/cooling centers within the City.

And we have so many events going on, and quiet places to read, or computers to use, it's a good place for anyone, one person or even the whole family, to spend a couple of hours avoiding the cold of winter or the heat of summer.
