Buy a Book for the
Oakland Public
Library!

Join many others in helping your library make it through hard times. If you do, the library will be delighted.

How to do it:

Online - (the quick and easy way--just click the links and place your order, and the books will be delivered directly to the library!)

Amazon.com has on its site copies of the wish lists for the whole Oakland Public Library system and several branch libraries.

The Codysbooks.com site also has the library system wish list. If you use this one, make sure you send them an email so the book will be delivered to the library instead of you.

Diesel Bookstore - http://www.dieselbookstore.com

More questions? E-mail Oakland Public Library Collection Development or call them at 238-4704.

In Person -

If you buy in person, the bookstores won't be delivering the books. Please bring the books to your local branch or to Collection Development at the Main Library.

For more information

There is a copy of our systemwide wish list on our own web site. If you want to donate a book not on the wish lists, we will review it for condition, timeliness and usefulness as we do all gifts and send any titles we don't need to the Friends of the Oakland Public Library.

THANKS!
