TEENS AND ADULTS

Get Crafty With Us
Santa Clara County teens are invited to stop by their home library and pick up weekly Grab & Go Craft Bags. 
 
Each week’s bag features a different craft with instructions and supplies included. All bags will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, and are for patrons ages 13-18.
 
Then, share a picture of your finished craft to our Teen Art Gallery. We enjoy seeing your creations!
Add to Our Collection
Help add to our library collection! Our newly revamped Suggest a Purchase form is available in your Library Account.
 
These video tutorials can help guide you through the process. If approved, staff will automatically place a hold on the item for you.
 
Library staff reviews and evaluates each request based on the Santa Clara County Library District Material Selection Policy. The average request takes two to four weeks to process.
