The Santa Clara City Library welcomed the new truck providing fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms, sold at reasonable prices to consumers in the South Bay. “Libraries aren’t just books, books, books, it’s about the betterment of the individual and the community through learning and learning happens through many different avenues,” said Paul. The library also has a seed library, and they teach people to grow their own food, cook that healthy food and save the seeds so that they can do it all again next year.
