For many years library staff have been collecting and sharing the things we've found in library books. This evergrowing collection is full of so many treasures, full of stories about Oakland and all the amazing people who use our libraries.
In honor and celebration of Black History Month we wanted to show off some of the collection featuring all kinds of bits and pieces, artifacts and photos, creative writing and art showcasing Black Families, Black Joy, and Black History.
They each are such a fun little slice of life - a moment in time. What sparks your interest? Did you learn anything new? I hope these fabulous found items, at the very least, bring a big smile to your face!
Don't forget to check out the entire ever-growing collection. We have over 1000 items digitized and shared so far.
