Join the campaign to create a permanent home for the Piedmont Ave Library.
The Friends of Piedmont Ave Library are actively campaigning for a permanent home for the Piedmont Avenue Branch. The current location has been a portable building at 80 Echo Avenue for over a decade.

Since 2019 efforts have focused on the vacant building next door at 86 Echo. It is the former Child Development Center, which like the current branch, is part of the Piedmont Avenue Elementary School grounds.

In 2023 the Oakland Public Library and Public Works departments selected a consultant to conduct a feasibility study of how to repair and renovate the Child Development Center building to become our new neighborhood library.

There are several ways for community members to share ideas for the library:

1. Complete a survey which can include uploading video or audio comments.
2. Call in your comments to (510) 761-5708.
3. Attend a community meeting on Tuesday, January 23rd.
   In-person at the Piedmont Avenue Elementary School
