Graphic Novel Group at Oakland Public Library: Rockridge Branch
Rockridge has a good little Tuesday evening plan for comic readers, sketchbook carriers, and anyone who likes stories told in panels. This monthly meetup lands at Oakland Public Library: Rockridge Branch on September 22 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
The branch sits right on College Ave, with that calm neighborhood library feel that makes it easy to settle in after work or dinner nearby. It is a low pressure room for talking books, sharing favorites, and meeting people who care about art and story.
The featured voices here are local readers, artists, writers, and guest creators who help shape each session. The series opened with Bay Area graphic novel authors Briana Loewinsohn and Thien Pham, and the meetings continue with a mix of book sharing, creator talks, and drawing or writing time.
Go if you want new reading ideas from the library shelves. Go if you have a character idea sitting in a notebook. Go if you are an artist looking for a writer, or a writer who wants to meet someone who draws. You can also just listen and see what people are making.
The gathering runs one hour, which feels just right for a weeknight. Free, neighborly, and easy to get to at 5366 College Ave in Oakland.
Do you love visual media? Would you like a place to share and learn more about graphic novels and the library’s extensive collection? Are you an artist looking for a writer, or a writer looking for an artist?
This monthly meeting will alternate between participants sharing their favorite graphic novel, author talks and drawing/writing sessions. Come join us and see what we can create!
Opening Event: local graphic novel authors Briana Loewinsohn and Thien Pham will present their work.
July 28th, 6:30-7:30pm
All events will be from 6:30-7:30pm on the 4rth Tues. of the month from July – Nov.
