Sharing Gratitude: Tell Us Your Story! 🧡

Hello! See what's happening at our libraries

This season, we’re sharing gratitude for our community. We’re thankful for the way you show up in our libraries and fill them with joy!

Hearing how the library has helped you, your neighbors, friends and family inspires us to continue our work across our 13 libraries.

Is there something at the library you’re especially grateful for? We’d love to hear from you.

To commemorate Native American Heritage Month this November, we've gathered this list of moving and powerful books by Indigenous authors.

Learn about our staff's untraditional Thanksgiving traditions that highlight how we mix our different cultures into this American holiday.

We're excited to host an in-person author talk with Margaret Juhae Lee, author of Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History.

It's a season of gift giving for many of us. San Mateo County Libraries can help you make a thoughtful gift for someone you care about!

A reminder that our libraries and Customer Care will close early at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, November 27, and we will be closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29.

Our community libraries will resume regular open hours on Saturday, November 30.
