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!
