This September, Santa Clara County Library invites you to celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month and discover how a single card can open the door to endless opportunities.
With a library card, you can do more than check out books. From free classes and job resources to homework help, streaming media, and cultural events, today’s libraries connect communities to information, inspiration, and each other.
This year’s theme, “One Card, Endless Possibilities,” is a reminder that libraries are for everyone—no matter your age, background, or goals. Whether you're diving into a new hobby, searching for your next great read, brushing up on tech skills, or helping your child succeed in school, it all starts with a library card.
At SCCLD, you’ll find:
- Books and media for all ages, eBooks and eAudiobooks, public PCs, free WiFi, printers and scanners, online databases, and access to streaming videos and music.
- Also at select locations: Passport services, public meeting rooms and private study rooms, laptops and portable chargers, museum and park passes.
- Programs and events including children's storytimes, crafting, lectures/talks, health and fitness classes, ESL classes and conversation clubs, and more!
Getting a library card is free, easy, and empowering. For students, it’s a key to academic success. For adults, it’s a gateway to lifelong learning. For everyone, it’s a smart way to stay connected to your community.
Stop by any of our locations or visit us online at this link to sign up for your card today. Because with a Santa Clara County Library card, the possibilities are truly endless.
