So I come down and use the Internet and work. Durin g the week I bring over my daughter, who’s two, and we enjoy the children’s library section as well as the fish tank, that’s a big hit. © Copyright 2014 Cupertino Library Foundation.

Many teens like to get away from home and spend time elsewhere, and the library is a good alternative. Aside from my home and s c h o o l , I s p e n d most of my free time at th e l i b r a r y . I s i m p l y enjoy the environment thi s l i b r a r y h a s , a s well as the books that are a v a i l a b l e t o m e t o entertain myself with. © Copyright 2014 Cupertino Library Foundation.

It is a place that I can go to just to relax and read some books, and it is the most accessible place for teens in Cupertino to meet and study together, which is why I keep visiting i t so often. [The Library] helps me be a better student i n school and also helps me build my social ski l l s as there are many times when I have made a conversation with a random stranger over similar books that we like in the library. © Copyright 2014 Cupertino Library Foundation The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
