Many checked-out Android (and mobile-related) books have made their way back to the Alameda library, if you browse the technical section on the second floor, don't forget to also check the section of technical books in the "New Arrivals" section on the ground floor as well. For some reason, many of those books are still being kept in that section. Many of those books are thanks to the donation of O'Reilly. Again, library cards are free and you do not need to be a resident of Alameda to get one.
There is no food budget/sponsor for this event, but there are many restaurants and eating establishments less than a block away from the location.
