Early in 2004, West Valley received LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the U. S. Green Building Council for its environmentally-friendly and innovative building design. West Valley Branch is the first San Jose City facility, and the first library in the world, to receive this distinction. The planet loves us!
Who I'd like to meet: YOU! If you haven't visited yet, check us out and prepare to be amazed by all of the great (and free!) materials and programs we have to offer!
Thanks for the add. I hope you’ll check out my new tween novel, GIVING UP THE GHOST, set on a haunted plantation near New Orleans two years after Hurricane Katrina. It’s my dearest wish that my novel’s themes of fear, grief, and forgiveness, leavened with humor and gripped by a ghostly mystery, will bring comfort and healing to young teens living with uncertainty in unsettling times.
KIRKUS says (9/15/07) it has “teen appeal in spades” and is “a good choice for reluctant readers”!
