Palo Alto City Library and your Schools

Dedicated to teachers, school librarians, school administrators, and anyone interested in the education of children and teens.

The Library established a School Liaison position in order to address the need and desire to build a stronger collaborative relationship with schools in Palo Alto. The Palo Alto Unified School District is just one of the organizations in Palo Alto that the Library is collaborating with.

Youth Services Librarians provide class visits and presentations, outreach, curriculum support, booklists, group instruction and more!

The School Liaison, Maya Spector, can be reached by phone at 650-463-4963, by email or IM.
