Past events

Martin Luther King Jr. Branch is a small neighborhood library in East Oakland, near the intersection of International and 69th. It is a single-story building with the entrance at the corner, so it is straightforward to spot and get into. Inside, it has a typical branch layout with stacks for kids, teens, and adults, plus a few rows of computers and tables where people sit to read, work, or wait for programs.

The collection is geared to the surrounding community, with books in English, Spanish, and Chinese, and basic services like printing, copying, and scanning. Bathrooms are all gender, and there are water fountains and a mix of regular and more accessible workstations.

Events here lean family and youth focused, so on a weekday afternoon it is common to see small kids and caregivers coming in for bilingual Spanish storytime, songs, and play, or tweens drifting toward a table set up with craft supplies, 3D pens, or a movie screen for Tween Club. The Bike Fix usually sets up outside or near the entrance, with staff or partners helping adjust brakes, patch tires, and handle other minor repairs using shared tools. Most programs are drop-in and free, and people tend to wander between the activity and the main room to browse or use the computers.

Parking is free on nearby residential streets, with spots along 69th and one marked accessible space close to the corner. The branch is laid out to be easy to navigate with strollers and mobility devices, with automatic doors and an accessible bathroom. Within the Oakland Public Library system it is one of the older branches, opened in the early 1900s under a different name and later dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr., so it functions as a long-standing community hub for this part of International Boulevard.
