This program is in partnership with Oakland Bloom. Oakland Bloom’s mission is to advance economic equity in the food industry. It aims to support poor and working-class refugee, immigrant, and BIPOC chefs to launch their own food businesses, and to reenvision and reshape what a healthy and just food service industry could look like. It pursues these aims by enabling pathways for individual & collective ownership and neighborhood resilience with working class migrant/BIPOC chefs and communities.
This program is made possible by the Friends of the Oakland Public Library.

Asian Branch is the Oakland Public Library branch tucked into Pacific Renaissance Plaza in Chinatown, so expect it to feel like part of a busy neighborhood center. The entrance is at plaza level inside the complex, and the branch itself is compact and straightforward, with stacks close by and staff usually in easy reach. It is a single story with power assisted doors and other basic accessibility features, and the space is fully air conditioned. more...
