Jennifer Weeks, County Librarian
Lobby and Computer Pilot Programs Underway
Our patrons have missed coming to the library
and while Santa Clara County carefully
advances in accordance with the state's
Blueprint for a Safer Economy, SCCLD is
adding new public services safely, and j j
sustainably. As of September 21, we began
piloting a lobby service model at the Gilroy,
Milpitas and Morgan Hill Libraries during
curbside hours where a limited number of _ Q
patrons can enter into the lobby of the library to
pick up their holds, browse a small collection of =- -
grab and go book and DVD titles, and use the
self-check machine for contactless service.
t
Computers and printing are also available as of :
September 21, where we are offering a limited
p g
model at the Gilroy and Saratoga Libraries with two public computers and a printer for patron use
during curbside hours. Patrons can register online for a 50 minute computer session to check email,
print important paperwork, connect with family and friends and more. This also includes up to 25 pages
of free printing to benefit our patrons who do not have access to a computer or printer at home. The
computers have full internet access and are loaded with valuable software packages including
Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, plus our full online library.
We are piloting these services to learn best practices before expanding to additional libraries later in
October. For more information, visit sccld.org/informed
