The series started with the classic tunes of MaryLee Sunseri as she taught parents how to bring music, movement and play together. Golden Acorn Music led the crowd in full body movement songs in English and Mandarin and kept the momentum going with shaky eggs and a soothing reading of "Over In the Meadow." Asheba capped off the series with a blend of calypso classics and children’s favorites, including the high- energy “No More Monkeys.” We had a great time singing and dancing with the families, and thank the Friends of the Cupertino Library for supporting these programs! ADULT & TEEN PROGRAMS August had a wide range of programs for both teens and adults. Programs included Gaby Moroder, guitarist, in our Courtyard Concerts series, a NASA lecture on fruit fly experiments from the International Space Station, and a new program, "Should I Start a Small Business?". CUPERTINO LIBRARY AUGUST 2018 3 Our Teen Social Justice App Contest concluded in August. During this two month program series and contest, supported by the Friends of the Cupertino Library, local teenagers learned about the importance of social justice movements and library resources. Teens collaborated and worked in teams to develop applications focused on helping alleviate human suffering and forwarding social justice causes. As part of this enrichment programs series, the teens attended instructional coding workshops, led by the Math & Coding organization, and the Bystander Intervention Workshop to learn about the importance of activism and how to effectively (and safely) respond to a hate crime. All of the teams built impressive applications that were reviewed and scored by our panel of judges. 43 teens participated in the contest. 1st Place = Team Hapi with the Hapi App This project addresses the area of social justice centering on mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, suicide prevention and bullying. https://youtu.be/cDajvueR5Wk 2nd Place = Team Teresa with the Teresa App This app addresses the issue of food insecurity for the poor, and people in need, along with making a deep impact towards ending food waste by restaurants. The Teresa App will connect soup kitchens and food centers for people in need to big restaurants and put an end to food insecurity for the poor. https://youtu.be/YXgXwdNySGo 3rd Place = Team LLT with the Salutem App The Salutem App addresses the developing worldwide refugee crisis. It allows citizens to temporarily provide sanctuary to refugees who have nowhere to go to. Refugee users can look for available houses and shelter that others can provide them. https://youtu.be/FHbuFj9rlL4 AUGUST 2018 LIBRARY OUTREACH 2018 2017 OUTREACH EVENTS 7 9 OUTREACH ATTENDANCE 291 535 TOTAL VOLUNTEER HOURS 964 943 Library outreach this month included visits to two local events – the Kids ‘N Fun Festival and the CEEF 5K Run for Great Schools.

There were 32,132 children, teens and adults who participated in Reading Takes you Everywhere. Not only did we achieve more than a 30% increase over 2017 in the number of participants, we also saw a huge jump in those completing the reading challenge from 8% to 30%. Our focus on preventing “Summer Slide” has achieved real results. What was equally exciting, as a community we read almost 179,000 books! In June/July, children’s circulation of books increased by 7% and adult and teens by 5% year over year! We also saw an increase of 47% in adult/teen audiobooks and a 71% increase in children’s audiobooks. It was a system-wide success with increased registration and engaging programs for all ages. We are so proud of our staff for driving the program and our community for accepting our challenge, reading over 179,000 books this summer! SCCLD was busy not only feeding our community’s mind, but also feeding hungry children through Lunch at the Library. Only 1 in 6 children who receive a free or subsidized lunch during the school year has access to this meal during the summer months. Lunch at the Library provides a healthy meal along with fun, educational activities for children and their caregivers. Our program was a big success with committed staff, volunteers and very happy families who benefitted. In our second year, we were able to serve hot lunches at Morgan Hill, Serving the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County and the cities of Campbell | Cupertino | Gilroy | Los Altos | Los Altos Hills | Milpitas | Monte Sereno | Morgan Hill | Saratoga feed 250% more children through the Bookmobile working with Gwinn Elementary School in San Martin, and Gilroy’s Lunch at the Library was top notch with teen volunteers providing assistance, energy and a positive role model for the younger kids. A very special thank you to the Santa Clara County Library District Foundation for funding the teen volunteers. In addition, through our partnerships with the YMCA and Second Harvest, we were also able to not only feed the kids, but provide much needed food to their accompanying parents and guardians. Finally, through our new summer reading partnership with the SF 49ers, those kids who enjoyed Lunch at the Library were treated to a special visit by Sourdough Sam from the 49ers. We served 5,388 meals this summer as opposed to 4,039 last year. This is just another example of how SCCLD is changing lives and helping to build a stronger community. Everbright Lights Up Milpitas Library SCCLD has installed an Everbright wall display at the Milpitas Library. The high tech, interactive light wall is both educational and entertaining, inviting families to create images by adjusting each dial to whatever color they choose. With 476 dials on the 4 foot by 7.83-foot panel, the number of designs that can be created is unlimited. This new community interactive wall allows our patrons to create designs in every color of the rainbow- plus every hue in-between. Everbright promotes fun, learning and imagination, Photo blurred to provide privacy Serving the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County and the cities of Campbell | Cupertino | Gilroy | Los Altos | Los Altos Hills | Milpitas | Monte Sereno | Morgan Hill | Saratoga allowing our patrons to discover their creative side. It is also an excellent educational tool for young children taking their first steps, involving touching and manipulating objects with hands, seeing changes of color, and beginning to form patterns. The connection between the hand, eyes and the brain is critical to early literacy. Everbright creates its bright light displays with multiple RGB LED pixels that can rotate endlessly in either direction, changing color and hue as the dials rotate. It is easy to use by all ages. SCCLD’s Everbright will be on display for 6-8 weeks at Milpitas Library before rotating to another one of our libraries. The Everbright was designed by Dr. Alan Rorie of Oakland-based Hero Designs. Previously, Dr. Rorie was a neuroscience researcher at Stanford University and a postdoctoral fellow at The Exploratorium Teacher Institute. He used these experiences to design the Everbright to be engaging and educational incorporating STEAM attributes. Bringing Consumer Health to the Library SCCLD is encouraging the local community to sign up and meet with a public health registered dietitian nutritionist this September. Living in the Silicon Valley can be tough, rewarding, interesting, challenging but above all—busy. We live busy lives and with so many fad diets and conflicting reports on various types of food, SCCLD is taking some of the mystery away by offering one on one appointments with a registered dietician nutritionist. Each of our community libraries are offering six personalized 20-minute appointments with the dietician to help our patrons identify a healthy, individualized meal plan. The nutritionist will offer advice and knowledge about eating habits, nutrition, meal plans, and will be open to all other questions brought forward.

Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-Oct 15) and Welcoming Week (Sep 14-23) are important events occurring in September.
