Sponsored Programs

LALE actively supports library-related programs and projects across Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and Santa Clara County.

Our Board of Directors provides financial oversight and stewardship of the endowment to ensure that LALE can continue to serve its mission long into the future. We believe that technology and STEM-related projects are transforming brick and mortar libraries to extensive, always-on resources for everyone in the community.

Open+ Access

LALE funded the first Open+ Access pilot program at the Woodland Branch library. Open+ is a comprehensive system that allows libraries to provide more flexible hours, making them more accessible to the community. Library patrons can opt in to use their library card to gain access to library spaces and make use of available services such as highspeed broadband and wi-fi, computers, hold shelves, and any other self-services the library chooses to make available during these self-service hours without fully staffed service

Go Go Biblio

LALE funds the Go Go Biblio mobile library vehicle that is based at the Los Altos main library.
