Director's Message
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
We are excited to offer you a brief snapshot of your Oakland Public Library's accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 in an on-line format. We know our library users appreciate the use of technology, especially when it helps us to stay in tune with the earth, keeping it green. As our system adapts to changes in the ways in which information is shared, we will continue to search for ways to increase sustainability while also becoming more accessible to our community.
The economy is not as robust as we would like, and it has been a difficult time for all City agencies and for many individuals in our community. But as these Web pages show, the Library has continued to provide the services on which our patrons rely. I think you will agree that during these hard times, the Library is more relevant than ever. Please click on any of the links at the right to see what has been going on at your OPL.
As we look back at our successes over the course of 2008-09, we wish to thank our Friends' groups, donors, volunteers, and staff who join together to make it all happen.
