Welcome to a magical March at the Oakland Public Library! We're celebrating Women's History Month by honoring the iconic women who've made history including Oakland-based Olympic gold medalist Alysia Liu! We'll also take time to remember the work of César Chávez with a specially curated booklist and a movie screening at the Chávez branch.
Other exciting highlights this month include:
