Every September, National Library Card Sign-Up Month is celebrated at libraries nationwide. The Santa Clara County Library District wants to make sure every child, teen and adult has their very own library card. A library account is a free but at the same time, priceless tool that can help people belong, connect and discover.
This year is extra "fin-tastic" as we are proud to collaborate with the San Jose Sharks to release TWO limited edition library cards. The library cards feature the San Jose Sharks brand new Turn it All Teal designs. These cards are available now at all SCCLD libraries and the Bookmobile. Existing patrons can update their account with these limited edition designs. A free SCCLD library card is valid at all SCCLD libraries, the Bookmobile and Online Library.
A SCCLD library card gives users access to our 2+ million-item collection which includes
- books
- ebooks and audiobooks
- movies and music
- video games
- digital magazines and newspapers
- a Library of Things
- in-person and online homework help
- meditation with Headspace
- CreativeBug craft resources
- career & job skill preparation
- financial literacy help
- and more!
Check out the Online Library to see all of the free resources available to cardholders!
A full use library card is all you need to check out county and state parks passes. Connect with others at our many programs and activities for all ages. Five of our libraries are also Passport Acceptance Facilities. We have Community Outreach Specialists on staff, to help connect residents to much-needed social services and resources for food, housing, medical, legal, and job assistance.
Do you know someone who needs a library card? Find SCCLD library card applications online or stop by any of our libraries.
Kids and families are invited to celebrate this partnership with us at Cupertino Library on Tuesday, September 8 at 4 p.m. for a special storytime event. Join us for stories, giveaways and multiple special guests from the San Jose Sharks! Space is limited, and the doors will close when capacity is reached.
