DID YOU KNOW?
Census 2020 is almost here, and Cupertino Library encourages you to
participate. The confidential process of the Census helps increase the
amount of local affordable housing, funding for schools, law
enforcement, and health care services; the Census also affects
Congressional districts. Coming soon, every SCCLD library will have a
Census Assistance Kiosk, as well as links to the Census site on public
computers. Learn more about the Census at

Discovering the New SCCLD
Website
In 2019, SCCLD conducted its triennial
Patron Satisfaction Survey. The results
are in incorporating input from nearly 7,000 patrons about their experiences with many different aspects
of library operations. The survey results have been broken down for all eight of our libraries and the
Bookmobile, and we will use the results, feedback, and recommendations to help us further improve
our patron experience. Chris Brown, Deputy County Librarian, will continue to visit each of the
Commissions in March to share the highlights from the survey. In addition, each Community Librarian
has received a databook with the detailed results and open-ended comments related to their individual
library.

LaptopsAnytime Coming to Every Library
the filter. Campbell, Gilroy, Los Altos,
each with laptops for adults.
Starting in March, SCCLD will be adding laptop kiosks to
every library so those patrons who need a laptop to use
while they are at a SCCLD library will be able to check
one out to use during their visit. These laptops have all
the same software as our desktop computers, including
Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office. Whether you
need to finish up that class or work project or want to
access anything from the online library, the library's
laptops will be ready to help you meet your goals.
To make it easy, 12 laptops will be stored in a kiosk
inside the library. Use your library card to borrow the
computer for free. Laptops cannot be removed from the
library at any time and all work should be saved onto your
own flash drive as all personal files and viewing history
will be erased when returned to the kiosk. Saratoga and
Milpitas libraries already have kiosks installed, with
another on the way that will contain laptops with a content
filter for children. Cupertino will also be getting two
kiosks, one for adults and one for children that will include
Morgan Hill and Woodland libraries will be getting one
