25th Anniversary Gala

Celebrate our 25th Anniversary with Us!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 6 PM to 9 PM at the Triton Museum at 1505 Warburton Ave in Santa Clara to help us celebrate our 25th Anniversary! This is the perfect time to celebrate the Santa Clara City Library with your fellow library lovers.

Register now!

The event raises money for The Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends, an organization dedicated to supporting the Santa Clara City Libraries and lifelong learning in Silicon Valley. To that end, we will ask for donations at the event, though it is not required to make one.

We are excited to announce our 25th Anniversary Celebration Special Guest Alexis Madrigal, Co-host of the daily Forum on California Public Radio on KQED and author of The Pacific Circuit: A Globalized Account of the Battle for the Soul of an American City. He is also a contributing writer at The Atlantic and the co-founder of the COVID Tracking Project. He’s the creator of the podcast, Containers, and has been a staff writer at Wired. He was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Information School.
