ABOS Karen Hake Outstanding Bookmobile Librarian Award
Amytha Willard, Supervising Librarian for Bookmobile
Services, has been named the 2021 ABOS Karen Hake
Outstanding Bookmobile Librarian. She was selected in
recognition of her continuous dedication and
commitment to the bookmobile profession.
This is a new award from the Association of Bookmobile
and Outreach Services, which commemorates the 50tn
anniversary of Karen Hake's service to the bookmobile
profession at the Platte County Library System in
Columbus, Nebraska.
Amytha Willard has spent 16 years working for SCCLD,
all for the Bookmobile program. Today, the Bookmobile
has two vehicles that make over 100 stops a month at senior centers, schools, rural areas, and
unincorporated portions of the County that are far from any library. From the top of Mount Hamilton to
migrant camps in San Martin, and Family Literacy Centers to the Santa Cruz mountains, Willard and
the SCCLD Bookmobile team can be found all across Santa Clara County on a weekly basis,
crisscrossing over 1,000 square miles.
When SCCLD launched the Lunch in the Library program at its two qualifying libraries, Amytha looked
to extend the program to those communities in South County who needed it most by partnering with
Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley and San Martin Lion's Club. The team served healthy
lunches to children throughout the summer months and offered fun and educational activities for kids
including STEM projects, crafts and a visit by the San Francisco 49ers mascot.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Willard and her team developed and implemented BookDash, a
contactless home -delivery solution to meet a need for the growing older adult community and for those
who could not get to a library during the pandemic due to family illness, injury, medical condition, or
disability. The SCCLD Bookmobile team delivers books right to a patron's front door. BookDash
modernized, optimized and streamlined homebound service from 5 patrons to over 60 patrons with
capacity to expand the program.
The award will be presented at a ceremony on Tuesday, October 12 during an online Association of
Bookmobile and Outreach Services conference.
Congratulations to Amytha and the Bookmobile team for winning this prestigious award!

HERITAGE MONTH
SEPTEMBER 15 TO OCTOBER 15
National Hispanic Heritage Month originated as National Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968 during the
peak of the civil rights movement. Then in 1989 a presidential proclamation established National
Hispanic Heritage Month as a "31-day period beginning September 15 and ending on October 15" in
which the nation celebrates and honors the culture, achievements and contributions of Hispanics and
Latinos in the United States. The date was chosen because it coincides with the Independence Day
celebrations of five Central American nations -Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico
and Nicaragua.
As of 2020, Hispanic and Latino Americans make up nearly 20% of the US population, and constitute
25% of Santa Clara County's population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hispanic Americans
have been influential in every part of this nation's history, from the arts to politics to business to
the military.
People of Hispanic and Latinx heritage encompass many different countries and cultures. Santa Clara
County Library District proudly presents a wide array of in person and virtual events, and Spanish and
bilingual books as well as Spanish a -book collection to enrich this month's celebrations.
We hope you will join us for any of the following events to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month.
El Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana se origino como la Semana Nacional de la Herencia
Hispana en 1968 durante el apogeo del movimiento por los derechos civiles. Luego, en 1989,
una proclamacion presidencial establecio el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana como un "periodo
de 31 d1as que comienza el 15 de septiembre v termina el 15 de octubre" en el que la nacion celebra y
honra la cultura, los logros y las contribuciones de los hispanos y latinos en los Estados Unidos. La
fecha fue elegida porque coincide con las celebraciones del Dia de la Independencia de cinco
naciones centroamericanas: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico y Nicaragua.
A partir de 2020, los hispanos y latinos estadounidenses constituyen casi un 20% parte de la poblacion
de los Estados Unidos, y constituyen el 25% de la poblacion del condado de Santa Clara, segun la
Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos. Los hispanoamericanos han sido influyentes en cada parte
de la historia de esta nacion, desde las artes hasta la politica, los negocios y el elercito. .
