Past events

Oakland Public Library’s Montclair Branch is a small neighborhood library in the Montclair district of the Oakland hills. It sits close to the village shops and is used a lot by local families, retirees, and people working on laptops. Inside, it feels straightforward and compact, with a main room of stacks, a clearly defined children’s section with picture books and early readers, and a modest teen area with popular fiction and media.

There are restrooms on site, public computers, and the usual mix of tables and chairs for quiet reading or light study. A seed library operates here too, so visitors can pick up or drop off garden seeds when available.

For kids and caregivers, this branch is especially geared toward early childhood programs. Baby Bounce runs on Tuesday mornings for babies up to about a year old, with songs, movement, and simple books followed by unstructured playtime with toys and other families. Toddler Storytime is aimed at roughly 18 months to 3 years, with a mix of stories, rhymes, and social time, then a stay-and-play period with age-appropriate toys. Siblings are welcome at these events, and the pacing is very relaxed, so it is normal for kids to wander a bit or make noise.

The Montclair Branch has been part of the Oakland Public Library system since around 1930, when the library first opened in Montclair in a small “storybook” style building. It has grown over the decades into a larger branch that now serves a well established hillside neighborhood. Friends of the Montclair Library, a local support group, helps with extras like programs and small improvements, so the calendar often includes seasonal events in addition to the regular storytimes and book-focused activities.
