The Central Park Library reflects and celebrates the values, diversity, and vision of the community of Santa Clara. It features collections and activities for the City’s diverse population, with separate pavilions for children and teens, as well as for local history/genealogy, periodicals, quiet study, and the Library’s significant language collection. There are two large community rooms, accommodating 100 and 125, for public programs and library activities. Three small group study rooms are available for collaborative study and participants in the Library’s adult literacy program.

Entrances are provided both from the City’s adjacent 52-acre Central Park and from Homestead Road. The two entrances are connected by an interior “boulevard” that features new books, audiovisual materials, spectacular art, and a café. The Library showcases original, library-themed works by local and nationally renowned artists.

The Central Park Library embraces technology as a way to improve service to the community. The Library provides more than 100 public access computers, as well as power and high-speed data (including wireless) connections throughout the building for use with patrons’ own portable computers. It is one of the first public libraries in California to implement integrated, state-of-the-art RFID (radio frequency identification) and Tech Logic systems that speed material checkout and the reshelving of returned items.
