Valentine's Countdown, Day 4

Do you and your sweetheart enjoy quiet time together by curling up with a good book and a crossword puzzle?

If the answer is yes, then the may be just the place for you to celebrate Valentine's Day weekend.

The Friends of the Berkley Public Library plan a bake sale Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon in the lobby, so you can grab a sweet treat before you pick up a book and settle in by the fire. Yes! The library has a cozy fireplace in the adult reading section.
