On April 28, 2022, the city of Oakley entered into a cooperative agreement with Contra Costa County. This agreement will entail that the old sheriffs substation will be demolished to make way for a stand-alone library and community center. The terms of the agreement are as follows: the city and county will share the demolition costs and the Oakley community has 36 months to come up with a funding plan for the project. 

We are asking members of the community who are interested in seeing this project to fruition to volunteer to become grant writers and fundraiser volunteers for the Oakley Community Library Project. If you are interested in volunteering please contact our organization via e-mail ([email protected]) with the subject line "I am Interested!"

We hope that you will join us for our monthly Board Meeting on February 10 at 4:30 PM on Zoom. In this meeting we will be discussing library issues, planning events for the year, and discussing our book sale area. If you are interested in attending please RSVP by clicking here. 

We hope that you will join us for our Organizational Meeting on January 20 at 4:30 PM on Zoom. In this meeting we will be electing our new board of directors and will address key organizational topics for the upcoming year. If you are interested in attending please RSVP by clicking here.
