We hosted our second clean up ay at the Oakland Tech library with the help of Friends of Oakland Public School Libraries (FOPSL)! Thanks to everyone for their amazing effort! We made a tremendous amount of progress today. There's much more to be done, but the library looks clean(er), more organized, and there are old and NEW books almost ready to check out!
One way you can support libraries in Oakland public schools is to sign and share this petition: http://www.saveschoollibrarians.org/ousd and come to the OUSD school board meeting this Wednesday, 6 - 7 pm at La Escuelita. Just being there is a great show of support, numbers matter. Even better, speak during the public comment session to tell the school board that students need and deserve quality libraries. Student and family voices are especially important to the school board. If you can make it, let me know. Do you know someone who is available to pick up our boxes of weeded books and deliver them to the OUSD warehouse? A truck would be helpful - there are a lot of boxes! Finally, in case you missed it, here is the Oakland North story about the Oakland Tech Library: https://oaklandnorth.net/2018/03/23/oakland-technical-high-students-form-group-to-advocate-for-library-access/ Thank you for all the help!
