Each year on Cal Day, the UC Berkeley campus is pulsing with activity.
This year, visitors will get to choose from days’ worth of experiences — free admission to BAMPFA, psychedelic soul on Memorial Glade, and roasting marshmallows through a telescope, to name a few.
At the Library, we have a slate of exciting offerings, too, from open houses and tours to a virtual reality showcase, the popular $1 Book Sale, and a dinosaur meet-and-greet. (Yes, those dinos — head to the Bioscience, Natural Resources & Public Health Library for a closer look at the skeletons.)
