Join the Check It Out Book Club
Each quarter, folks who donate monthly or give $250+ annually to the Oakland Literacy Coalition will receive book recommendations specially curated by Oakland school library staff and special guests as a way to say thank you.
We’ll clue you in on lesser known titles that are huge hits with Oakland kids for you to share with the young people (and young at heart) in your life. Expect to see OLC values of diversity, equity, representation, and fun reflected in each one.
Your monthly gifts help the OLC to plan our programs ahead, knowing we can count on your sustained generosity.
