Some commonly used databases

Mango Languages

This is an self-paced online language learning tool for 72 world languages plus English (ESL) instruction in 21 languages.

You need to log in with your San Jose Public Library 14-digit barcode number with a PIN. Stop by the service desk on the first floor to obtain your SJPL card; make sure to bring a photo ID with you. During Santa Clara County's shelter-in-place order, San Jose residents are able to apply for an eCard to access all SJPL online resources. Apply for your card here.
