Santa Clara County Librarian Named To Deputy Role

SANT CLARA COUNTY, CA — The Santa Clara County Library District today announced that longtime employee Stephen Fitzgerald was named Deputy County Librarian of Community Library Development, assuming the task of resuming full public services at all SCCLD branches.

“Steve brings a calm leadership-style and strong dedication to improving public library experiences,” County Librarian Jennifer Weeks said . “He knows the ins and outs of the library system, having worked at several of our community libraries and the Services and Support Center for over 14 years. We are fortunate to have his expertise as we move ahead in these new times.”

After starting in 2007 at the Los Altos Library, Fitzgerald later became the Supervising Librarian for Adults and Teens at the Cupertino Library, Community Librarian at Milpitas Library, and was most recently the Library Services Manager for Literacy and Learning. He also received the Employee Excellence Award in 2016 and was key in launching passport services and bringing the grant-funded Smithsonian exhibit "Exploring Human Origins" to Santa Clara County, officials said.

“SCCLD already offers a number of valuable and engaging programs, from family concerts to teen events to author visits, as well as crucial resources for student learning, ESL/ELL learning, and learning to read,” Fitzgerald said. “My goal is to build upon these programs and offer even more educational and entertaining opportunities to our patrons.”
