Library Stakeholder Report
Jennifer Weeks, County Librarian
The Library is the Place for Kids to Play this Month
Looking for a cool place to relax with your kids where they can learn and have fun? SCCLD is rolling out
brand new Burgeon play walls at all of its libraries starting this month. Play tables and toys will also
return to the library for the little ones to enjoy, in addition to our regular storybooks, grade appropriate
readers, and family friendly videos. Check out our Events Calendar for Children’s programming,
including storytimes. Looking for online activities? Try out our Kids’ Online Games selection, including
ABCmouse and CodeCombat, which teaches kids computer coding through a fantasy game format.
Let the Library Help with Your Back to School Plan
School is around the corner and the Library District is here to help
get your students ready. Our 24/7 Online Library has a Kids’ page
or Teens’ page with access to great resources like tutoring through
Brainfuse, homework help with LearningExpress, online resources
from Scholastic, encyclopedias and bios about historic figures,
learning languages through Rosetta Stone, researching journal
articles, and much more. Kids have access to their own OverDrive
collection for eBooks and eMagazines. Our librarians also have
suggested books for each grade.
Students at schools within our services area also automatically receive a digital library membership, or
“eAccount” with their own web portal.
SCCLD also supports parents and caregivers of little ones with the 1000 books before 6 and earn
prizes! Our talented children’s librarians offer book lists, tips, logs and more.

Improving Connections to Community
Services
In an effort to better connect patrons with key services, the
Library District has created a new Community Outreach
Specialist position. Splitting time between Milpitas Library and
the Ochoa Migrant Center in Gilroy, the position will help to
proactively assist patrons with finding a variety of resources
offered by nonprofits and government agencies ranging from
employment to housing, healthcare to food access.
21st Century libraries offer much more than just access to information. They actively engage in the
community and assist where possible to help improve the lives of residents. SCCLD partnerships with
community services such as the Ochoa Migrant Center, BookDash home delivery, free lunch programs,
and community outreach by our library staff are great examples of this commitment. The Community
Outreach Specialist allows the library to be even more specialized in assisting patrons to achieve their
goals. Read more about SCCLD’s Community Resources.
Try it Truck Visits South County Libraries
South County kids were delighted to experience the Bay
Area Discovery Museum’s Try it Truck on July 12 (Gilroy
Library, pictured) and 27 (Morgan Hill Library). Following
its motto of “Think, Make, Try,” visitors were invited to try
their hand at a matchbox racecar ramp, creating
parachutes out of coffee filters and pipe cleaners,
deconstructing electronics, and more interactive STEM
(science, technology, engineering and math) activities
that were both fun and informative.
Closing the Book on Summer Reading
We hope that you had a chance to take part in Summer
Reading this year. Thousands of residents of all ages took
part in the Reading Challenge to log in 5 books of any kind
and took part in the dozens of events that our libraries held
virtually and in person.
If you have not already done so, you have until August 15
to log in your reading on Beanstack. For those who have

2022 Distinguished Authors Series Lineup
The coming of fall brings many great things, including the Santa Clara County Library District’s
Distinguished Author Series. This is the third year the event has taken place, and to mark the occasion
we have a trio of authors who will be appearing in person at local community venues to talk about their
works. Topics range from the future of tech, the connections between health, food and agriculture,
and the fantastical and sometimes frightening world of fiction.
Emily Chang is a television anchor and author. Her book, Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of
Silicon Valley, sheds a bright, objective and journalistic light on the issue of gender gaps in Silicon
Valley. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is an editor and bestselling author who has been awarded the Locus and
British Fantasy awards. Her works include Velvet Was the Night, Gods of Jade and Shadow, Mexican
Gothic and the recently released The Daughter of Doctor Moreau. Dr. Daphne Miller is a family
physician, science writer, and clinical professor. She has written two books: The Jungle Effect: The
Science and Wisdom of Traditional Diets and Farmacology: Total Health from the Soil Up.
