Oakland Public Library

The Oakland Public Library is a part of the City of Oakland in California and has been in existence since 1878. We have:

• a Main Library
• seventeen branch libraries
• the Second Start Adult Literacy Program
• the Tool Lending Library
• the African-American Museum and Library at Oakland (AAMLO).
• the Oakland History Center

We offer many other services for residents of Oakland and California.

We get support from a lively Friends of the Library group and by the Library Advisory Commission. We also have local Library Friends groups around the city.
