The year 2025 promises to be a historic one for the Berryville Public library and, by extension, for the town of Berryville. We broke ground on the new library in April, so the library should be finished in the spring of 2026. Preparation for the new building has made us at the Berryville Library nostalgic and reflective, not just about the library’s history but also about the town’s history. Other seminal moments in Berryville Library history occurred in 1938 and 1978, so we’ll be looking back this year on what Berryville was like then, as well as what it is like now, as we also look to the future.
For December, we’re looking at how Berryville gets around town.
A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Easy as Pie Thanksgiving Pie Pickup Sale last week! Our volunteer bakers made over 50 pies–including enough for extras for us to sell in the library–and we had raised over $1,100 before the sale even started. Thanks so much to our bakers and buyers, as well as our volunteers who helped call bakers, broker pie sales, assemble boxes, design flyers, and more.
But wait there’s more . . . baked goods! We have our annual Christmas bake sale coming up on the 2nd Friday of December, like always. Last month, pies were the stars of the show. This month, it’s a little bit of everything taking center stage.
