Library Lovers’ Month

Love is in the air!

Celebrate everything we adore about libraries.

Libraries do so much for us. They provide us access to technology, help us learn new job skills, and provide comfy spots to read. The San José Public Library is committed to your freedom to read, your ability to access information and ideas, and your #RightToLibrary.

Share your cherished library moments and tell us why the library holds a special place in your heart.
