We are excited to announce our 2026 theme, Bridges to Belonging. Join us from mid-January through March for a series of engaging author visits and community events designed to bring us together.

REGISTER NOW for the 2026 Kickoff Event

Thursday, January 15, 2026 | 7:00 p.m. De Anza VPAC Theater, Cupertino

Join us for an inspiring evening as Sal Pizarro of the San Jose Mercury News sits down with the authors of our three featured adult selections:

• John A. Powell: The Power of Bridging

• Keeonna Harris: Mainline Mama

• Annie Hartnett: Unlikely Animals

They will discuss how to navigate the complexities of our modern world with empathy, and how to find the common ground that exists even in divided times.

Arrive early or stay late to enjoy the art show “A Sense of Belonging” at the Euphrat Museum, located just off the lobby.

Book Signing: Copies will be available for purchase at the event, with an author signing immediately following the program.
