When you walk into the Rockridge Library, you’ll find
-
Children engaged in storytime
-
Students absorbed in activities in the Teen Zone
-
People tucked in quiet spaces reading and working
-
A hub for community meetings and events
-
And so much more
While the library’s core services are funded by the City of Oakland, many additional activities and resources are funded by donations to the Friends of the Rockridge Library (FORL). FORL is an all-volunteer group dedicated to supporting our wonderful library and its staff, and we also extend that support to the greater Oakland library community.
Learn more about the programs we fund, donate today to support your library, and subscribe to the Friends Newsletter to receive occasional updates about our work.
