About Educational Park Branch Library


The Educational Park Branch Library is located on the campus of Independence High School, making us a magnet for teenagers during the after-school hours. We also serve as the primary information center for the Independence Adult School and Academia Calmecac, neither of which has a school library on their premises.

We serve the Silicon Valley community as a whole, but our immediate neighborhood consists of 77,000 San José residents in zip codes 95133 and 95116. Thirty-eight percent of our users speak Spanish, and twenty-seven percent speak Vietnamese. We’re proud to provide books, CDs, DVDs, and videocassettes in these languages as well as Chinese, English, Gujarati, Hawaiian, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Panjabi and Tagalog. Our staff speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Spanish, and we’re ready to assist you in those languages; please call us before your visit to make sure the staff member you need is on duty.

In addition to our storytimes and other children’s programming, we offer several events for adults each week including Conversation Clubs to practice your English, and hands-on computer assistance. Check out our calendar or MySpace page for more information.

Educational Park Branch Library is open six days a week. Stop in and check us out!
