Tuesday, May 5th
National Teacher Day (the Tuesday of Teacher Appreciation Week) is May 5 this year. This day would be a great occasion to let a teacher in your life know how much you value their hard work and contributions! Sending a teacher a gift, card, or email would be a wonderful gesture to let them know how much their hard work and dedication are appreciated.
SJPL Educator Card
Are you a teacher? Thank you! Also, did you know that SJPL offers a special Educator Card, which allows you to check out materials for extended periods and not have to worry about overdue fines? SJPL wants to help bring knowledge, stories, and fun to your students. If you are an educator who's at least 18 years old and works for a preschool or K-12 school (public, charter, or private) in the city of San José, you are eligible for an Educator Card. Just click the link above to learn more and fill out an application.
