Summer Skills Tutoring
Edenvale Library will be hosting Summer Skills tutoring by trained teen and adult volunteers at the library over the summer months to help students (grades K-8) work to prevent so-called "summer slide" and keep their reading, writing and math skills sharp. The program will be held at Edenvale Library at least three times per week from June 11 to August 10th. See flyer attached below for more information.
Free Summer Food Program
San Jose Public Library Kicks-Off the Free Summer Food Program - For the fifth consecutive year, San José Public Library will provide children with a nine-week summer meal program in collaboration with YMCA, California Summer Meal Coalition, Revolution Foods, and Second Harvest Food Bank to help fuel children’s futures through healthy meals and fun activities. To kick-off the Free Summer Food Program, a special public celebration was held on May 31 at the Educational Park Branch Library. The event began with a story time presented by the San Jose Earthquakes and followed by opening remarks from Councilmember Lan Diep, City Librarian Jill Bourne and representatives from YMCA Silicon Valley and Second Harvest Food Bank. The guest speakers served lunch to children, teens and their families, and the celebration featured a variety of activities including STEAM-related programs and a book giveaway. Educational Park Branch Library is one of seven branch libraries hosting lunch for children and teens this summer from June 11 to August 10, 2018.
