About Seventrees Branch Library
 Seventrees
Library serves a culturally diverse neighborhood. We have five major
language collections: Chinese, Hindi, Panjabi, Spanish and Vietnamese.
These collections are very popular, especially the media. Seventrees
neighborhood is composed of apartment complexes and homes plus commercial
businesses, and many of our customers work for the Civil Service.
Test books are very popular for this reason.
The Children’s and Vietnamese collections are the most highly
used in Seventrees Library. There are also special collections of
career and job information, resumes, computer books, ESL, Adult
New Reader, citizenship, parenting, home improvement and decorating,
and large print materials.
Children’s Programming at Seventrees Library incorporates
early childhood development modules in literacy, active listening,
drama, movement, singing and art projects of different kinds. Weekly
storytimes incorporate age-appropriate developmental training
for the varying age groups. Reading
with Children also encourages active listening, along with books
chosen by the reader and by the children. Craft programs are incorporated
into the monthly schedule as time permits.
A new computer lab with flat-screen monitors is very popular. These
computers are often used for job searches and resume writing, as
well as for Email and recreational purposes. A recent renovation
highlights special displays and self-service features such as the
hold shelf and self-check machines.
Materials checked out from any San José Public Library branch
may be returned to Seventrees. For your convenience, there is an
after-hours book drop to the right of the front door.
