Past events

Oakland Public Library’s Eastmont Branch is inside the Eastmont Town Center in East Oakland, on the second floor of the complex. The space is straightforward and functional, with a typical branch layout: service desk near the entrance, rows of shelves, public computers, and a clearly marked Teen Zone. There is an elevator up from the main level and the entry from the parking side has a low-slope ramp and power-assisted doors, so getting in with strollers or mobility devices is simple.

Parking is in the mall lots, with a large free lot close to the library’s entrance.

Inside, the branch leans toward being a neighborhood hub. There are books in English and Spanish, an African American studies section, ESL materials, and a small career area with test prep and study guides. Around the edges you see practical things people actually use: public PCs with internet and basic software, a copier, printer and scanner, and all-gender restrooms. The meeting room is modest and set up for about a classroom’s worth of people, used for programs like the Mocha art workshops for kids 0 to 5, as well as other small events.

For teen events like the Eastmont Teen Cineplex on Mondays or the Eastmont Teen Arcade on Wednesdays, activity is focused in the Teen Zone, where games and movies are usually projected on a large wall. Snacks are typically provided as part of those programs. The branch is part of the citywide Oakland Public Library system, which has been around since the late 1800s and now runs a network of neighborhood locations throughout Oakland, with Eastmont serving residents in this part of East Oakland.
