Young Artists 2008 NEW
While all schools in Santa Clara County are eligible, Milpitas Unified has earned a reputation as an award-winning district. This year, nine of the 31 pieces were from Milpitas Unified, which offers some art education at all grade levels. Visit the gallery in person, at 1290 Ridder Park Drive, during regular office hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
Literature
Borders
We go to Borders in the McCarthy Ranch Mall so the whole family
can hear good music or authors, not just to buy books, music,
and videos. You may need to set this up for Milpitas, but from
then on, it should show just the Milpitas store events and inventory.
Milpitas Community Library
Need to reserve a book? You can have the book you want
searched for from among all Santa Clara County libraries and
saved for your convenient pickup in Milpitas.
Museums
Museums For the Young At Heart
Although Milpitas does boast but one museum, the Valley is full
of them!
