May Brings More Reasons to Visit SCCLD
May is a busy time of year at SCCLD with in-person
events for all ages at our libraries. Patrons can attend
everything from storytime to ESL, participate in crafts,
hear from speakers, and much more. Check out our
events page or the monthly calendar for details.
In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander
Heritage Month (AAPI), the Library District has an online challenge for all ages with special events,
curated booklists, and book displays at our libraries. Visit our website or social media platforms for more
details and to register.
To celebrate all the moms and motherly figures in our lives, SCCLD has many cookbooks, craft ideas
and resources to make her Mother’s Day a special one.
Mental Health Awareness Month
May is also a time to talk about issues around mental health.
From anxiety to depression, mood disorders to addiction,
there are many challenges that people face in their lives. The
Library is a place to find information and access to resources,
such as from our County Department of Behavioral Health
Services. We also provide access to computers, where
patrons can read about organizations like the National
Alliance on Mental Illness and Bring Change to Mind. The
Library also offers free access to the mindfulness and meditation app Headspace, which offers a
number of calming exercises to help relax the mind and improve focus.
Our librarians have created several booklists around mental health topics featuring resources in our
collection. These include Handling Anxiety; Dealing with Depression; and Teen Issues: Understanding
Suicide and Self Harm.

early start by signing up on our website. If you already
have a Beanstack account for yourself or your child,

South County Park Daypacks
Through a grant offered by the California State Library, SCCLD is offering a
limited number of free day-use parking passes to select California State
Parks. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the natural majesty of the Golden
State. While there is a lengthy waiting list, if you are interested, put your
name in now and plan for the future.
Morgan Hill and Gilroy libraries are also lending backbacks with parking
passes, maps and other information about Santa Clara County parks.
Patrons can check one out at the Morgan Hill or Gilroy Library, as supplies
allow. With Great Outdoors Month coming in June, Parks and Recreation
Month in July, and our Summer Reading theme of Read Beyond the
Beaten Path, the Library is there to help everyone enjoy nature.
Digital Coaching Classes in Milpitas and Gilroy
Do you know someone who would benefit from help with using
computers? SCCLD libraries are partnering with Community Tech
Networks to offer unique, on-site digital literacy training for those
who need a bit of help with technology. Librarians at Milpitas and
Gilroy libraries can enroll individuals for free 45-minute training
sessions using Library computers. Tutors are available in English,
Spanish, and Mandarin.
Participants can get help logging online, using productivity tools like
Microsoft Office, navigating the internet, and other computer-related
tasks.

Unveiling of Cupertino
Library Expansion
The Cupertino Expansion Project was
officially unveiled on Friday, April 29.
An additional 5,600 square feet has
been added to the busy library above
the previously one floor Children’s
area. Patrons can now enjoy new 140-
seat capacity presentation spaces, on
both the first and second floors, which can also be divided and used for multiple programs
simultaneously.
The new design for this southern wing of the library will soon provide access to a revamped courtyard,
which will connect to the Memorial Grove. This creates a true heart of the library, where visitors can
commune with nature and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding area. With the additional space,
Cupertino is now just under 60,000 square feet, making it one of the largest libraries in the District.
National Small Business Week
The first week of May is National Small
Business Week. The Library District is
partnering with SCORE Silicon Valley to offer
three online courses this month to help those
who are thinking about or have started a small
business. Online registration required.
• Friday, May 13, 10 am. Should I Start a Small Business? You have an idea for your own business.
Now what? Could it work in the real world, or do you need to retool your idea first? Learn the
fundamentals of what it means before you start your own business.
• Tuesday, May 17, 11:30 am. Understanding credit and how to improve your credit score. Good
credit is important to both your personal and business needs. Lenders can look at how you have
handled your past obligations. Many business owners have had credit issues because of the
pandemic. This one (1) hour presentation covers aspects of becoming an educated credit user.
• Thursday, May 19, 12 pm. Using Google My Business to boost your SEO. Whether you're just
getting started with Google My Business (GMB) or you have claimed your business, we'll explore
some ways to use this free and easy tool to give your SEO a jumpstart and bring in new customers

expectations in the plan.

Men’s Health Month
Typically, men are less inclined to seek
medical attention for their personal health. As
a result, many preventable diseases go
untreated due to a reluctance to do routine
health screenings.
Advocates for men’s health have chosen June
as the month to encourage everyone to talk about health topics that particularly affect men, such as
heart disease and prostate cancer. Those who wish to draw attention to these concerns wear blue the
Friday before Father’s Day, June 17 this year.
There are many resources available around men’s health issues, including national nonprofits like the
Men’s Health Network and Movember. The Library has a number of titles around men’s health, including
magazines, journals, and books. The 24/7 Online Library’s Health & Wellness section has many to
explore.
Teen Bookmark Contest
Youth ages 12 – 18 are invited to submit a design for their most
creative bookmarks. Entry forms can be found at all of our
libraries or submit online by July 31. Winning designs will be
shared at our libraries. Do you know someone who is artistic
who might be interested? We encourage creativity and out of
the box thinking!
Herstory 2 Exhibit Comes to Milpitas Library
The Herstory 2 exhibit is now on display at Milpitas Library.
Based on the works by Dr. Chang C. Chen, Herstory 2: the
Legal History of Chinese American Women focuses on the
fight for rights by Chinese American women in the U.S.
Supreme Court and State Supreme Courts. The book
discusses landmark cases from 1912-2020, and covers topics
including racial discrimination, sexual discrimination, and
gender inequality.
The exhibit offers a rare look at the stories of the women behind the evolution of law that affects the
rights of all of us. It will be on display until August 28. We also invite you to an upcoming event with Dr.
Chen at Milpitas Library on Saturday, June 18 from 1:30-3 pm.

Marking LGBTQ+ Pride Month
Pride Month is a month-long celebration that honors the
1969 Stonewall uprising in New York. Every June, people
celebrate the impact and contributions of the LGBTQ+
community with parades, commemorations and more. Many
SCCLD libraries have book displays on LGBTQ+ topics.
Librarians also have created topical booklists, like this one
on recent adult fiction.
To learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and upcoming events throughout Santa Clara County, visit
the official Office of LGBTQ Affairs website.
Election Time is Here - State Primary Election
The State Primary Election is on Tuesday, June 7, and SCCLD libraries will
be playing a major role. All of our libraries are offering 24-hour ballot drop-
off boxes with two exceptions: Cupertino has a drop-off spot at nearby
City Hall and the Campbell Express has a box by the Campbell Avenue
parking lot. There are dozens of other drop-off sites.
Registered County voters should have all received their mail in ballots
by now. If anyone has not, they can phone the Registrar of Voters toll
free at 866-430-8683 or request a duplicate ballot online. Voters can
also go to the County Registrar of Voters building to vote in person from
May 9 through Election Day, or one of the many Voting Centers across the
County from May 28 until June 6, including Milpitas and Saratoga libraries.
