Friends of the OPL Celebrates 75 Years!

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Friends of the OPL. Check out our new anniversary logo

The accomplishments of the Friends over the past 75 years were made possible by the dedication of thousands of volunteers and donors. Thank you to all for participating in the important work of preserving and enhancing library services in our community. 

We want to celebrate this milestone with you! Please save the date to join us on Saturday, Sept. 27th, for an open house at The Bookmark Bookstore – 933 Broadway, Oakland. Come meet fellow Friends and book lovers, browse the shelves of our beautiful new space, and celebrate 75 years of community-powered library support. We’d love to hear your “library moment,” whether it’s the first book you fell in love with, a librarian who inspired you, or a time the library helped you through a chapter of your life.

We can't wait to celebrate with you!
