Hoops for health
Stanford Blood Center is partnering with the Golden State Warriors to give donors a chance to win four tickets to the Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks game on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, at 2 p.m. at Chase Center in San Francisco. All donors who give blood at a Stanford Blood Center, including the South Bay Donor Center in Campbell, during the month of October will be automatically entered into the drawing.
Donors should be in good health and must bring a photo ID. Donors must be at least 17 years of age, or 16 with a parent or guardian’s consent.
There is an immediate need for all blood types, especially type O. Appointments can be made at stanfordbloodcenter.org or by calling 888-723-7831 or texting to 999-777. Walk-ins are welcome.
Imagination Library
The Santa Clara County Library District is bringing Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to young readers in the county. This worldwide effort mails free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children under age 5 every month, with a goal of sparking a lifetime love of reading.
“Building a home library, reading to children starting at birth, and introducing families to their public library are important ways to help our littlest learners become successful readers,” said County Librarian Jennifer Weeks in a release.
All children under age 5 living in Santa Clara County are invited to be part of the free program. Imagination Library titles are available in English or Spanish. Books arrive approximately eight to 12 weeks after registration, so those who sign up in October will receive their first books in time for the winter holidays. Children will continue to receive a new book every month until their fifth birthday.
To participate, families can sign up their children ages 0-5 at sccld.org/imaginationlibrary.
