The Santa Clara County Library District is an open forum promoting knowledge, ideas, and cultural enrichment. The library provides free access to informational, educational, and recreational materials and services. In response to community needs, the library provides diverse resources on a wide variety of subjects and viewpoints and helps people use these resources. The Library presently has eight community libraries serving the population of 473,011 people in the cities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill and Saratoga. A bookmobile serves the population in less accessible areas and many of the unincorporated areas of the County. More than 208,346 Santa Clara County residents have a library card. A total of 10 million items circulate each year from a collection of nearly 2 million, with a visitor count surpassing 3.4 million. More information about the library may be found on our website www.sccl.org. The Library website has approximately 1,000 pages of content. On a monthly average there are nearly 370,000 webpage visits, 500,000 searches for materials in our online catalog, and over 77,000 searches in our subscription databases.
