Oakland High's library was closed for student use for 15 years before we reopened it in 2023. We want the library to be a comfortable, safe space for students to explore their interests. We started rebuilding our collection from scratch, and getting current books that gear toward student interests, and currently have just over one book per student, far off from the California Department of Education's recommendation of 20 books per student.
As we update the space, we also want to include digital media via subscriptions or learning experiences. Maintaining our computer lab is a large priority, and we want students to access technology and materials to make an design products for projects and their own special interests. We are in need of furniture that allows for more collaboration between students, that help chunk up our space so multiple groups can use the space harmoniously.
