We're Here for You, in Many Ways
 
Hello from the Santa Clara County Library District.

We know it’s been tough not being able to engage with library staff in person, but we are still there for you and your family. We have launched a new phone support service where you can ask about your account or ask a librarian a question.
 
Our staff is available seven days a week from 10 am - 6 pm.
Account Questions: (408) 540-3945
Ask a Librarian: (408) 540-3947
 
You can also connect with us online via chat, text, or email, whether you have an account question or need to ask a librarian a question.
