About Lights on Afterschool

San José Public Library is excited to participate Lights On Afterschool. Launched in October 2000, Lights On Afterschool is the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs and their important role in the lives of children, families, and communities.

On October 26, City Hall will illuminate in support of this impactful initiative. The Library is sharing our diverse afterschool programs, resources, and services.

Afterschool programs not only inspire continuous learning but also pave the way for our youth's promising futures. Discover all that San José Public Library offers to enrich the lives of our children, families, and community. Join us in shining a light on the power of afterschool!
