Piedmont Avenue Library Branch Moves to New Location
November 10 was the final day the Piedmont Avenue Branch Library operated in the library building on 41st Street at Piedmont Avenue.
The branch library will reopen on Tuesday, November 27, at 80 Echo Avenue, behind the Piedmont Avenue Elementary School. The City of Oakland leased the modular unit (with Measure Q funds) from the school for five years as the temporary home for the library. In preparation for the library, the modular unit was painted white, and a new access ramp and stairway were constructed, also using Measure Q funds, the parcel tax that supports extended branch library hours.
