Current Library Services
Limited services are currently available. This page describes the services currently available to the community. The Library offers enhanced online content as well as limited in person services.
Seven Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) locations offer two holds pickup options, Monday - Saturday: (1) contactless curbside option or (2) walkup option. These two holds pickup options are offered during specific hours (see hours schedule), and the options are described lower on this webpage.
Returned items are quarantined for 24 hours to protect the health and safety of both Library staff and patrons. Please allow up to 4 days for returned items to be removed from your account. No late fines are incurred for any items returned. Items overdue more than 4 weeks will be considered lost and replacement fees will be assessed. Returning lost items will clear charges. Please Note: All existing late fines (except for lost materials that have not been returned) were removed in January 2021. You will not incur any new fines as of January 1, 2021. All late fines from before January 1, 2021 have been forgiven.
Curbside services are continuously evolving with the changing state and county health and safety protocols. Currently, many library staff are serving as Santa Clara County Disaster Service Workers and contact tracers to fulfill this critical need in the County. The Library District is exploring what services we can safely and effectively offer with a smaller team. Unlike retail stores, the Library has thousands of items going out daily and even more items returning which requires more space and safety protocols.
For students, the Library offers a wide variety of online study, research and entertainment resources. The SCCLD Student eAccount offers all public school students in our District free access to digital sources and ebooks for homework help and fun reads!
Don’t forget, our online library (for all ages) is available to you 24/7 from the comfort of your home, anywhere you have an internet connection. And speaking of internet connection, Santa Clara County Library District has added free Wi-Fi in the parking lots of the Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill and Saratoga Libraries.

As we all navigate the challenges related to COVID-19, SCCLD is working to provide modified services and move toward welcoming you back to the Library safely and successfully. Our reopening approach is to expand services, outreach and access to library spaces, following all public health social distancing practices and health and safety guidelines. The safety of our staff and visitors is our top priority.
