Watsonville Reads

Watsonville Reads is a community engagement program that aims to bring people together through the shared reading experience of books tied to a particular theme. This year’s Watsonville Reads theme challenges the narrative of American history and immigration in America. Watsonville Reads will feature a photo exhibit, book discussion, craft-making program, culinary program and writing/ poetry workshop. 

We have selected one book that is representative of our selected theme and is intended to inspire and foster lively discussions: 

📚 “Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration, Survival, and New Beginnings" edited by Reyna Grande and Sonia Guiñansaca.

We have the books available in English and Spanish in our collection as individual copies at both the Main and Freedom Libraries or as part of our book club kits at the Main Library.
