    Our Mission

    The East Bay Children’s Book Project helps build literacy by putting books into the hands of children who have little or no access to them. Working through individuals and organizations who help children in need, we have given out more than a million free books since opening our doors in May 2005.

We are Opening August 7 for Fall 2018 – And a Special Saturday Giveaway

It’s that time of the year again.  Oakland Schools are opening August 13, and we are ready with lots of great new books for the fall.

 We are now open from 3:30 to 6 PM
Tuesday and Thursday.

Please note that we cannot let anyone in after 5:45, as we need to be out of the room at 6:00 sharp.

Special Saturday Opening: August 11

We will be open on Saturday, August 11 from 10:00 – 12:00.

For new Patrons

If you’ve never been in before, you will need to do a quick registration: Name, Work Site, and Email.  Please allow a few minutes for this process.

You will then choose your own books from our selection.

Reminders for everyone

You may choose up to 30 books from the shelf and up to 5 hot picks.  There may be other options depending on our stock.

You must count every book and sign out.

Please remember to bring bags or boxes for your books.

Sorry, our insurance does not allow for children to be present in the space.

Hours of Operation

We are currently closed for the summer.  We will re-open on Tuesday, August 7.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow children. Our insurance company has very strict rules.
