(Oakland, CA)—With summer here, Oakland Public Library staff are inviting everyone to participate in a series of Open Houses to discuss the Draft Master Facility Plan for their libraries and the idea of a new Main Library in a revitalized Henry J. Kaiser Center Arena near Lake Merritt. With nearby Laney College and the Oakland Museum of California, a new Main Library in the Kaiser Arena could result in a new cultural corridor for Oakland!
