Child’s play
The Santa Clara County Library District’s latest children’s space is set to open at the Milpitas Library on June 14. Families with children 0-10 years old are invited to the grand opening of the Railway Rollick Children’s Play Space, set for 10 a.m. Festivities include a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by a bubble show, crafts and a photo booth.
The Milpitas play space is the fourth to open at libraries in the district, preceded by the Saratoga, Gilroy and Morgan Hill libraries. Play spaces are planned for the district’s three remaining libraries, with the goal of improving early childhood literacy for the district’s young patrons.
Each updated children’s area has a special child-size door to enter the space, reading nooks, an ADA-accessible slide, balance activities and more.

The reading game
The Santa Clara County Library District is encouraging patrons to press “start” on its summer reading program, “Level Up at Your Library,” at its branch libraries including Milpitas.
.According to the California Library Association, summer reading programs help children and teens retain and enhance their reading skills over the summer and benefit adults by stimulating the brain, increasing vocabulary and sparking imagination.
Library patrons can register at sccl.beanstack.com/reader365 to earn a prize for reading five books and completing an activity. “Level Up at Your Library” runs through July 31. Completion prizes will be available Aug. 1-31 while supplies last. For more information, visit sccld.org/summer.
