Past events

Elmhurst Branch of the Oakland Public Library is a small neighborhood library in the Elmhurst area of East Oakland. It has a single-story layout with a gate out front and a power-assisted main entrance, so getting in is straightforward for people with strollers, wheelchairs, or mobility issues. Inside, it is quiet and air-conditioned, with standard shelves, a children’s area, and a few tables where people read or work.

There are books in English and Spanish, plus DVDs and other usual library materials. The branch has a handful of public computers with internet and Microsoft Office, along with printing, copying, scanning, and faxing. Bathrooms and drinking fountains are available, and there is free street parking nearby as well as free parking across the street in the Food King lot.

Events here tend to be low-key and drop-in friendly. The Elmhurst Branch Lego Club meets on Monday afternoons, with kids building at tables and finished creations sometimes set out for display. On certain mornings, staff and volunteers offer free computer and technology help, which usually means sitting down one-on-one with someone to walk through basic tasks on a phone, laptop, or the library computers. Other programs show up on the calendar from time to time, like storytimes, gardening crafts, or notary services, but the branch in general feels like a regular working library first and an event space second.

Elmhurst is one of several Oakland Public Library branches that serve specific neighborhoods rather than drawing big citywide crowds. The Elmhurst Branch has been part of the system for a long time, originally established in 1911 and operating at its current location since 1949. Visitors coming for an event can expect a straightforward community library environment where the main focus is access to books, computers, and basic services, with programs happening in whichever open corner or small area is free that day.
