And the New Almaden Branch Manager is...
Hello!
I’m Rosemary Van Lare, the Acting Branch Manager for the Almaden and Vineland Branches of San José Public Library. I learned to love libraries at a young age, spending many happy hours at the public library in my hometown of Petaluma, California. Youth Services is one of my library passions and you can find me leading Toddler Storytime at the Almaden Library most Thursday mornings. I have been a South Bay resident for more than thirty years and part of the Almaden community for the past eighteen years. I am delighted to have the opportunity to work in and serve my neighborhood communities. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know! My email is Rosemary.VanLare@sjlibrary.org, or you can call the Almaden or Vineland branches to get in touch with me. 2017 Almaden Branch Library Volunteer of the Year...
Almaden Branch Library - Jane Clear Jane comes in weekly and helps us by making sure our displays around the library are filled and look inviting, she shelf reads so people can actually find the book they're looking for, and she helps us in the back with paperwork and organization. It is so helpful to have someone who we know cares a great deal coming in consistently to help any way she can! Jane helps take some of the pressure off library staff so we can think up even more fun and creative things for the Almaden community. Get to know Jane Clear

How Are We Using the Funds Raised... San Jose Public Library Summer Reading Donation - $1000
