Your library card just entered its matchday era. 📚⚽️️
Oakland Roots SC and @oaklandsoulsc are teaming up with Oakland Public Library (@oaklibrary) for a limited-edition collectible card celebrating soccer, stories, and The Town.
Pick yours up at any Oakland Public Library location starting May 18, or visit the Oakland Public Library table in H Lot on matchday, this Saturday, May 16.
Then swing by the merch booth, show your card, and get a free Roots pin while supplies last.
Books. Soccer. Oakland.
