Beginning with pa per pulp castings over structures at a former World War II naval base\, O Connor developed a sustained interest in materials marked by history. In her exhibit\, Reclaimed\, she is drawn to surfaces shaped by wear\, weath er\, and works with cardboard salvaged from the streets\, recycling bins\, and packaging. Through folding\, layering\, stitching\, printing\, and pa inting\, she transforms these fragments and other seemingly incongruent ma terials into richly layered assemblages. Guided by shifts in patina and fo rm\, O’Connor builds surfaces dense with histories\, lush harmonies\, an d active surfaces. Cardboard\, humble and impermanent\, originates from tr ees. O’Connor links the material back to the natural world. In some work s\, she introduces imagery of branches and tree forms\, creating both calm and unsettling dialogues between the material’s fragile present and its living origin. In a culture shaped by disposability\, O’Connor elevates overlooked materials\, inviting viewers to sense the stories embedded in ordinary things as well as imagine ways the industrial and natural worlds might endure together. Bio: Pat O’Connor is an artist whose practice spa ns drawing\, painting\, assemblage\, and site-responsive sculpture. Her wo rk has been exhibited widely\, most recently at the de Young Museum in San Francisco\, Transmission Gallery in Oakland\, the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona\, California\, and O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. H er pieces are held in public and private collections\, including a public commission at the University of California\, San Francisco Medical Center. Pat received her BA in Painting and Drawing from UC Davis and pursued gra duate study in textile arts at San Francisco State University. Honors incl ude a San Francisco Foundation Grant\, the Robert Rauschenberg-hosted Powe r of Art Award from the Lab School of Washington\, D.C.\, and the Arts Edu cator of the Year Award from the San Francisco Unified School District. O Connor has taught widely at notable institutions\, including San Francis co State University\, UC Berkeley Extension\, and the de Young Museum.

Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ense mbles. The Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curate d selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sop histicated lounge set and a packed dance floor. The Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can e njoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. The Experience: The L ion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offeri ng world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a plac e to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next gene ration of San Francisco’s musical talent. A Legacy Reclaimed The Lion’ s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940 s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic cl ubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was o nce the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhoo d buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After dec ades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown i n nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the g lamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

We select our books from a variety of genres and eras so you’re sure to find something yo u’re interested in. We’ll get to learn more about our city\, mee t some neighbors and discuss what we’ve read. This year we’re mo stly alternating fiction and non-fiction books. Meetings are the first Tue sday of the month (note the change from 2025!) from 6:30-7:30pm. Come to o ne discussion\, a few or all of them! No pre-registration or commitment is required – all we ask is that you’ve read at least some of the book and are ready to discuss it. Here’s our 2026 schedule: (Quoted d escriptions are from the library catalog unless otherwise noted.) January 6\, 2026: Sourdough by Robin Sloan (fiction)We’re kicking off the year with a quick read about the very Bay Area intersection of tech and fo od culture. Lois is an exhausted software engineer who is gifted a very sp ecial sourdough starter by her favorite bakers when they must flee the cou ntry. Pretty soon she’s part of a mysterious underground food scene a t the former Alameda Naval Air Station. February 3\, 2026: Family Style: Memories of An American From Vietnam by Thien Pham (graphic memoir)The b ook that got the most votes from our members on our year-end poll! “T old through the lens of meaningful food and meals\, this graphic novel chr onicles the author’s childhood immigration to America\, where food ta kes on new meaning as he and his family search for belonging\, for happine ss and for the American dream.” Pham is a graphic novelist\, comic ar tist and educator based in Oakland. March 3\, 2026: Deep Care: The Radica l Activists Who Provided Abortions\, Defied the Law\, and Fought to Keep C linics Open by Angela Hume (non-fiction)“The story of the radical f eminist networks who worked outside the law to defend abortion. Deep Care  follows generations of activists and clinicians who orbited the Women⠙s Choice clinic in Oakland from the early 1970s until 2010\, as they wo rked underground and above ground\, in small cells and broad coalitions an d across political movements with grit\, conviction\, and allegiances of g reat trust to do what they believed needed to be done–despite the law \, when required.” April 7\, 2026: Moonglow by Michael Chabon (fic tion)“A man bears witness to his grandfather’s deathbed confessi ons\, which reveal his family’s long-buried history and his involveme nt in a mail-order novelty company\, World War II and the space program.⠀ Most of it isn’t set in Oakland\, but it is the only book on thi s list that specifically mentions Montclair Library! May 5\, 2026: Automa tic Noodle by Annalee Newitz (science fiction)Our May read is a slim 163 pages\, but packed with interesting ideas. This book is super popular as of December 2025\, so you might want to get your hold in early. “In t his semicozy tale set in a dystopian near future\, robots open their own r estaurant\, build an unusual found family and achieve personal growth. A f ew years after the war that led to California’s secession from the Un ited States\, four robots awake in the flooded San Francisco takeout place where they were contracted to work.” (Kirkus) “Emboldened by ne wly granted civil rights from the California government\, the bots reboot their lives in classic Bay Area form: by opening a noodle shop…In man y ways\, Newitz’s near-future San Francisco resembles today’s ci ty\, with not-so-subtle nods to AI anxieties\, queer identity and the mode rn-day immigrant experience. It is\, in the words of KQED’s Alexis Ma drigal\, ‘The most San Francisco book that has ever been or could eve r have been written.’” (Leah Worthington) (Ebook listed separate ly) June 2\, 2026: Moneyball by Michael Lewis (non-fiction)Baseball sea son is in full swing\, which makes this the perfect time to read Michael L ewis’s nuanced exploration of “how Billy Beene\, the general man ager of the Oakland Athletics\, used a new kind of thinking to build a suc cessful and winning baseball team without spending enormous sums of money. ” July 7\, 2026: Girls Girls Girls by Shoshana von Blanckensee (fi ction)In the summer of 1996\, best friends (and secret girlfriends)\, Hann ah and Sam drive from “New York\, to the fabled queer paradise of San Francisco\, free from the harsh gazes of their neighbors and the stifling demands of Hannah’s devout Orthodox Jewish mother. In San Francisco\ , they will finally be together as a real couple\, out in the open\, aroun d other queer people.” But soon they’re working at a strip club\ , meeting new people and trying to figure out who just they are. August 4\ , 2026: Power Hungry: Women of the Black Panther Party and Freedom Summer and Their Fight to Feed a Movement by Suzanne Cope (non-fiction)Journey back with us to the summer of 1969 with the story of the free breakfast m ovement\, grocery giveaways and other nurturing mutual aid programs starte d by the Black Panthers. “NYU writing professor Cope rescues two fema le activists from obscurity in this intriguing look at the role that food played in the civil rights and Black Power movements.” If you read O ne Crazy Summer with us in 2025\, you’ll enjoy learning the backstor y to the Panthers’ food program. September 1\, 2026: Kasher in the R ye by Moshe Kasher (memoir)Go back to school with this “hilarious m emoir about the absurdity of addiction.” “When he was a young bo y\, Kasher’s mother took him on a vacation to the West Coast. Well it was more like an abduction…They moved to Oakland\, California. That €™s where the real fun begins\, in the war zone of Oakland Public Schoo ls. Those early years read like part Augusten Burroughs\, part David Sedar is\, with a touch of Jim Carrol….Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud f unny\, Kasher…finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.† October 6\, 2026: 107 Days by Kamala Harris (memoir)Hopefully by Oct ober the miles-long hold list for this book will have settled down enough for you to get a copy! “For the first time\, and with surprising and revealing insights\, Kamala Harris tells the story of one of the wildest a nd most consequential presidential campaigns in American history.” (N PR) November 3\, 2026: The Giveaway: The Clay Blackburn Story by Owen Hi ll (crime fiction)We have something noir-ish by an Oakland author for tho se long November nights. “Hill’s crime fiction is whip-smart\, s tylish\, subversive\, hilarious and just dripping with East Bay color\, cu lture and landmarks. Sweet and sour like a perfect Negroni\, Hill has inve nted a new kind of East Bay Noir — the fog rolls in late\, the golden afternoon glow somehow both luxurious and ominous in the class war that n ever sleeps.” (Recommendation from Tally Ho! Books via Oaklandside) December 1\, 2026: Sign My Name to Freedom by Betty Reid Soskin (memoir )Reid Soskin\, famous for being the oldest park ranger in the history of t he National Park Service while working at the Rosie the Riveter National P ark in Richmond\, has been witness to a wide sweep of American history. Sh e grew up in the Bay Area\, raised four kids\, ran a record store in Berke ley and more. “Betty just turned 104 and her memoir gives a fascinati ng look at African Americans migration\, the Rosie the Riveter story\, and beyond through the Civil Rights era.” (recommender) (Ebook and aud iobook listed separately) « See our 2025 books here »« See our 2 024 books here »« See our 2023 books here »Learn more about Mont clair Library and its Friends group\, FOML\, here: About | Friends of Mo ntclair Library LOCATION:Oakland Public Library: Montclair Branch 1687 Mountain Blvd\, Oak land\, CA 94611\, USA URL:https://planetzoop.com/event/api-one-village-one-book-montclair-branch -oakland-07-07-26 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:api-329@planetzoop.com DTSTAMP:20260619T121858Z DTSTART:20260708T030000Z DTEND:20260708T050000Z SUMMARY:Marcus King Band: Darling Blue Tour Pt. 2 DESCRIPTION: LOCATION:Fox Theater 1807 Telegraph Ave\, Oakland\, CA 94612\, United Stat es URL:https://planetzoop.com/event/api-marcus-king-band-darling-blue-tour-pt -2-fox-theater-oakland-oakland-07-07-26 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:event-422@planetzoop.com DTSTAMP:20260619T121858Z DTSTART:20260708T210000Z DTEND:20260708T230000Z SUMMARY:Come paint with me DESCRIPTION:Come paint with me Open studio painting.
