Did you know about Lawyers in the Library? It's a free information & referral program held at different libraries and staffed by volunteer lawyers. In a one-on...-one appointment, lawyers can answer questions on most legal topics. If legal help is required, people are referred to other agencies. While our physical locations are closed, we are now able to offer a limited number of Zoom or phone appointments, on Tuesday/Thursday evenings, and Sunday afternoons. Appointments usually run for about 10-15 minutes. Due to limited availability, we can only make one appointment per month per person or family. Zoom appointments are only available on Tuesdays. To request an appointment: email [email protected] or call 510-238-3134 For more info: https://oaklandlibrary.org//online/virtual-lawyers-library Lawyers in the Library is co-sponsored by Alameda County Bar Association, Legal Access Alameda. #Oakland #AlamedaCounty #OPLonline #LawyersInTheLibrary #LibrariesTransform #MoreLibrary
