Event Details

Join retired OPL librarian Dorothy Lazard for the release of her new memoir, What You Don’t Know Will Make a Whole New World published by Heydey. We’ll gather for a brief reception, then Dorothy will read from her memoir. There will be plenty of time for questions.

Dorothy Lazard was born in St. Louis and grew up in San Francisco and Oakland. A librarian for forty years, she joined the staff of the Oakland Public Library in 2000. From 2009 until her retirement in 2021, she was the head librarian of OPL’s Oakland History Center, where she encouraged people of all ages and backgrounds to explore local history. She lives in Oakland.
