It’s time for Summer Reading<\/a>!<\/p>\n Summer Reading is one of the biggest programs The Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends support at the Santa Clara City Library<\/a>. It helps stop the summer slide in students’ reading skills, and provides fun activities for you and your kids during the summer months.<\/p>\n The Summer Reading rules are simple: print out<\/a> or pick up a summer reading map from your local library and register online<\/a>. Mark each day that you read – you don’t have to read a certain number of books or an amount of time. It counts if you read that day, even for just five minutes. You get an additional raffle ticket for the big prizes at the end of the summer for each day you read.<\/p>\n You can get more raffle tickets for completing activities that are on the second page of the summer reading map – check it out!<\/p>\n Also, the library activities are back this year, after two scaled-back summers. All three branches will be using the closest parks to host fun family events like Taiko Drumming, magicians, and more! There will also be weekly family activities at each branch, like crafts and games.<\/p>\n Mark your calendars for the following concerts and performances:<\/p>\n Bubble Show with Sterling the Bubblesmith<\/a> at Mission Library<\/strong> on Wednesday June 1 at 3 pm<\/p>\n Magician Steve Koehler<\/a> at Northside Library<\/strong> on Saturday June 4 at 10:30 am<\/p>\n Bubble Show with Sterling the Bubblesmith<\/a> at Central Park Library<\/strong> on Saturday June 11 at \u00a010:30 am<\/p>\n San Jose Taiko<\/a>, as part of the Jan Lieberman Concert Series, at Northside Library<\/strong> on Saturday June 18 at 10:30 am<\/p>\n Cascada de Flores<\/a> at Central Park Library<\/strong> on Wednesday June 22 at 6:00 pm<\/p>\n Magician Steve Koehler<\/a> at Mission Library<\/strong> on Wednesday June 29 at 4:00 pm<\/p>\n Hula Halau ‘O Pi’Ilani<\/a> at Central Park Library<\/strong> on Saturday July 9 at 2:00 pm<\/span><\/p>\n Circus of Smiles<\/a> at Northside Branch Library<\/strong> on Saturday July 16 at 2:00 pm<\/p>\n Circus of Smiles<\/a> at Central Park Library<\/strong> on Saturday July 30 at 2:00 pm<\/p>\n Follow our social media (Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>) for reminders and more information for each of these events!<\/p>\nHow to sign up<\/h2>\n
