The Berkley Public Library offers a wide array of resources including books, movies, audiobooks, downloadable content, and vinyl records. They provide innovative programs for all ages and honor library cards from neighboring libraries. Public computers and Wi-Fi are available for patron use. The library also features a unique "BerkBuster" section, reviving the nostalgia of video rental stores and highlighting their extensive film and television collections, available for free to all library cardholders. Their mission is to serve every patron by meeting their needs for information, whether for educational or entertainment purposes, and to show residents that the library is a resource for everyone. They are part of a consortium with over 40 local libraries in Oakland County, and their catalog is accessible statewide through the MelCat system. Residents typically need proof of address to obtain a library card.
