Another great summer reading season is underway!
We are grateful to our supporters—Applied Materials Foundation, Mission City Community Fund, Fairfield Residential LLC and the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends Used Book Sales—for making these programs possible. Summer reading costs over $20,000 in non-staff costs and wouldn't be possible at this level without the support of the community.
Register by July 17 to participate in our Children's Summer Reading Club (open to children of all abilities through 6th grade), TeenRead (for grades 7-12) or Adult Summer Reading Program. Enjoy your books, then turn in your reading logs or lists at the end of the summer to receive prizes and to be entered into a drawing for even more prizes! Call the Reference Desk at (408) 615-2900 or go to the Library's website for more information and to register for these programs.

Donors Supply Library Publicity Campaign Items
The staff at the Santa Clara City Library wanted to reach out to more people in the community and share library information with them, but the Library lacked the tools needed to attend public venues such as the farmers markets and the art and wine festival. Thanks to a gift from the Michael J. Kirsch Foundation and an anonymous donor, the Library now will be able to take a laptop with battery backup to various events to sign people up for library cards and to the Library's electronic resources (such as databases and catalog searches). In addition, banners will be purchased and the Library's van will be given new attention-grabbing signage.
