In his second novel, Songs of Willow Frost, author Jamie Ford writes that "The library is like a candy store where everything is free."
Mr. Ford really knows what he's talking about: The Oakland library has over 3,000 books and DVDs available to lend, with website access and e-book downloads available through the Marion County library system. Add to that the programs and special events organized by Head Librarian Berenda O'Neal, and you begin to understand just how sweet it is to have our very own library.
There is always an ongoing jigsaw puzzle at the library. December is always a fun month at the library. We decorate the community center for the holidays and there are always treats available during library hours.
Our fundraisers throughout the year include: two Casino Nights, a Silent Auction and our Book and Bake Sale.
The Oakland Library hours are Wednesdays from 10-12 and Saturdays from 10-1pm.
If you have any comments, questions or suggestions please call the librarian, Berenda ONeal at
(870) 656-0615.
