The Library Remains Closed, Shelter in Place

Dear Library patrons, The Library remains closed to the public. Please hold onto books you currently have checked out. We will automatically renew all items you have, and you will not be charged overdue fines. Follow our Facebook and Instagram and check our website for online classes, remote storytimes, and other fun activities presented by amazing Librarians. Online services such as e-books through Cloud Library and e-magazines through Flipster are available. If you need a Library account to access these services, please email us at library@losgatosca.gov and we will happily create a new account for you. Stay safe and healthy, Ryan Baker, Library Director

Just because the library is closed, doesn't mean you can't keep reading, learning, singing, and generally having FUN with us! Monday through Friday your library staff is delivering wonderful content through Facebook, Zoom and Instagram. We have a Storytime each weekday at 11 AM. Wednesdays is our Bilingual Storytime in Spanish and English. Thursday, we're reading longer format books for older listeners. Watch (or rewatch!) archived content you might have missed through our Facebook page as well. Make sure you never miss a program.
