This event marks an important milestone for the City, the Library, and most importantly for our customers and supporters. Village Square Branch signals the successful completion of a voter-approved Library Bond Program which has allowed us to expand and renovate 14 branch libraries, build 6 new branch libraries, and connect our communities to a wealth of resources, services, and technology to meet their lifelong learning needs. I am also thrilled to share with you that we are adding two new service centers to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in the coming months – Teen HQ (p. 11), a multi-faceted learning space designed for and by local teens, and SJPL Works (p. 9), a center that combines skill-building, career, and business support services. Both centers will offer tremendous opportunities for youth and adults to expand their skills and access a wealth of resources. You may notice that this issue is a bit longer than usual, as there is so much happening at your Library this spring. By reading through this issue, you’ll learn more about all the new programs and services our dedicated staff is working to provide our residents. As always, I hope you enjoy this issue of SJPL Bound and discover something new to explore the next time you visit your San José Public Library. Jill Bourne City Librarian San José Public Library

CELEBRATING OUR SAN JOSE LIBRARIES
Sixteen years of expanding and modernizing neighborhood libraries.
November 8, 2000 “Quality of life wins at ballot box” states the San Jose Mercury News after voters approve a Branch Library Bond Measure providing $212 million for 6 new and 14 expanded branches. “People really knew there was a need. You didn’t have to argue very hard for people to say, ‘Yes, I know we need better parks and libraries,’” said former City Librarian Jane Light. New Branch Expansion

n the last 16 years, a number of significant changes have occurred in our San José libraries. These changes would not have been made possible if it weren’t for San Joséans who, in November 8, 2000, overwhelmingly approved a $212 million bond measure to update and strengthen their neighborhood libraries. At the time, the Library’s bond measure was the first bond measure on the city’s ballot in 30 years and was the largest ever passed. The vote was a tremendous win for San José residents and has proven to be an incredible investment in the future of our libraries and our community. The Library Bond Program allowed the City to expand and strategically modernize

SJPL Bound [ March - May 2016 ]
fourteen branch libraries and add an additional six new branch libraries in neighborhoods that did not previously have a nearby branch. The city is now ready to unveil the 20th and last scheduled Library bond project: the beautiful new Village Square Branch Library. Nestled amongst a vibrant community of retailers, local schools, and weekend community events - the 16,000 square foot building will be located
The new building will contain an extensive collection of materials in a variety of languages, meeting and study rooms, computers with advanced software, and creation stations to help bridge the technology divide and provide a social space to enhance collaborative thinking. Looking back, the $212 million bond measure not only helped revitalize our libraries and create safe and welcoming spaces in our communities, but it has also offered tremendous educational opportunities to adults, teens, and children by providing them with full access to high-quality library services and resources that we all need to be successful in the 21st Century.
