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.

What's New
Phil Fitzwater, FORL donor extraordinaire, generously offered to replace the the decades-old seating in the children’s section. The new chairs needed to be sturdy, washable, and comfortable. We didn’t need to look much farther than across the street to meet the criteria! Funky Furniture at 5391 College was able to copy the original design and literally hand-deliver the chairs.
