Get a Teacher Library Card and Enjoy the Perks

Teachers, Teacher Librarians, and Library Media Assistants who work within the City of Santa Clara are eligible to get a Teacher Library Card. While the Santa Clara City Library is fine free for all our library card holders, we have some special benefits that will help you in the classroom or library.

Simply apply for a Library Card and bring your school identification to a Santa Clara City Library location to pick up your Teacher Card. This is a separate card if you already have a personal account with the Library.
