Silicon Valley Reads 2017
by
Jeannie Takagi Hsu, Library Assistant II
January 12, 2017
In 2017, the 15th anniversary, Silicon Valley Reads focuses on “. . . and justice for all,” a conversation about the unconscious biases we all have, and how these assumptions, perceptions and prejudices can lead to people being treated unfairly, especially in the legal system. Everyone has, at one time or another, been unfairly judged because of some type of bias and our goal is to raise awareness and spark new ideas on how we can reduce bias in our legal system and our daily lives.
2017 Selections

Writing My Wrongs

2017 Companion Books for Young Readers

Check out SCCLD's Silicon Valley Reads events.
Silicon Valley Reads is presented by the
Santa Clara County Library District
, the
San Jose Public Library
and the
Santa Clara County Office of Education
. Each year, the program collaborates with community organizations to promote reading and literacy and to engage the community in dialogue about themes in a selected book or books that are relevant to Silicon Valley. An extensive schedule of events is offered throughout Santa Clara County with activities for all age groups. For more information on Silicon Valley Reads, visit the website
