The Friends of the Campbell Library is hosting multiple fundraisers to reach a goal of $250,000 for enhancements to the new Campbell Library, including community and meeting rooms.

"This is going to be really fun. It is bringing families together and engaging with the library," O'Donoghue said. "I hope people get excited about looking up old articles. This contest is a unique and creative way to get people to engage with Oakland."

La Libreria is a lightweight, demountable library designed for the Venice Architecture Biennale, encouraging reading and literacy in a flexible community space.
