Silicon Valley Reads Kickoff
1/31/2024
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC)
De Anza College will host the Jan. 31 kickoff – and a related art exhibition – for the 2024 Silicon Valley Reads campaign, with an on-campus event featuring four writers and activists aligned with the theme: “A Greener Tomorrow Starts Today.” The campaign features books and programs that explore the challenges and opportunities of creating a more environmentally sustainable future – both locally and worldwide.
The 7 p.m. event on Wednesday, Jan. 31, will be held in person at the Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC) and simultaneously livestreamed by the Commonwealth Club of Silicon Valley. Admission is free and advance registration is required for both.
During the kickoff event, NBC Bay Area reporter Damian Trujillo will moderate a conversation with four of this year's featured authors and contributors: Lily Brooks-Dalton, author of "The Light Pirate;" Favianna Rodriguez and Alexandria Villaseñor, contributors to "All We Can Save;" and Heather White, author of "One Green Thing."
