Castro Valley Reads 2025

Castro Valley Reads is an annual literary event that asks our residents to read and discuss the same book. It builds community by encouraging a thoughtful exchange of ideas and celebrates the joy of reading together. Castro Valley Reads is facilitated by the Castro Valley Library and generously funded by the Friends of the Castro Valley Library. 

Registration for the 8th annual Castro Valley Reads begins today, and our special kick-off event takes place on Sunday, February 2 at 2 pm.

For 2025 we will be celebrating Mexican-American history and culture with a work of contemporary fiction called The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea.

The plot is simple enough. In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. 

The magic of this book comes in the telling. Imagine a tornado picking up speed as it whirls through and around each character dislodging and blending their memories, foibles, regrets, desires, and grief through rapid fire dialogues and interior monologues. As we learn tales that have passed into family lore, we are treated to a depiction of the de La Cruz family that is at turns tragic, bawdy, funny, joyful, and, ultimately, about love and grace. 

“We need stories to understand ourselves, and we especially need to read stories about people who are different from ourselves. We need to open ourselves up to those stories and find ways of thinking of ‘others’ as having commonalities with ‘us,’” said Dawn Balestreri, Manager of the Castro Valley Library. “That’s the opportunity we’ve tried to provide with Castro Valley Reads for the past 8 years.”

Our Kick-Off Event is Sunday, February 2 from 2 pm to 3 pm (no registration required). You’ll learn more about the book and be able to pick up a free copy, while supplies last. You’ll also hear the beautiful music of Cascada de Flores. Please register for a discussion group online before you arrive.

 

Discussion group registration begins today. You can register for a Library-facilitated group or you can form your own group with three or more people. To learn more about discussion groups and to register, visit aclibrary.org/castro-valley-reads.

Through the beginning of April, in addition to discussion groups, we have a great line up of programs related to the themes of the book. And on Friday, April 11, featured author Luis Alberto Urrea will be joining us in person at the Douglas Morrisson Theatre for the Finale event.

The Castro Valley Library, a branch of the Alameda County Library system. The Library will provide an ASL interpreter for any event with at least seven working days’ notice. Please call 510-667-7900 or TTY 888-663-0660.

Castro Valley Reads 2023

Castro Valley Reads 2023

It’s that time of year! The 6th annual Castro Valley Reads kicks off on Sunday, February 5 at 2 pm with a two-hour drop-in event. 

Castro Valley Reads is an annual literary event that asks our residents to read and discuss the same book. It builds community by encouraging a thoughtful exchange of ideas and celebrates the joy of reading together. Castro Valley Reads is generously funded by the Friends of the Castro Valley Library.  

This year we will be highlighting Chinese history and culture with a beautiful and poignant work of historical fiction entitled Peach Blossom Spring, a debut novel from author Melissa Fu.  

The year is 1938 in China, and, with the Japanese army approaching, Meilin and her son, Renshu, are forced to flee their home. Relying on their courage, wits, and an illustrated hand scroll that offers solace and wisdom, they must travel through a ravaged country, seeking refuge. 

Years later, Renshu has settled in the U.S. as Henry Dao. Though his daughter, Lily, is desperate to understand her heritage, he refuses to talk about his childhood, and the weight of his history threatens to drag his family down. 

Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is about the power of our past, the hope for a better future, and the search for a place to call home. 

“We hope you will join us to read and discuss this year’s selection,” said Dawn Balestreri, Manager of the Castro Valley Library. “I found myself lost in this story, both a page turner and tear-jerker. It may remind you of the stories in your own life and the importance of sharing the messy tapestry we call family.” 

Discussion group registration begins today. You can register for a Library-facilitated group or you can form your own group with three or more people. Book distribution begins February 5. To learn more about discussion groups and to register, visit aclibrary.org/castro-valley-reads.

Our drop-in Kick-Off Event is Sunday, February 5 from 2 pm to 4 pm. You’ll learn more about the book and be able to pick up a free copy, while supplies last. You can make a wish for the Lunar New Year on our wishing tree and enjoy a concert of traditional and contemporary Chinese music. The music and video presentations will repeat throughout the 2-hour event. Please register so we know you are coming and drop in when you like! To register, visit aclibrary.org/castro-valley-reads

From February through the end of April, in addition to discussion groups, we have a great line up of programs for all ages related to the themes of the book. Please join us! 

The Castro Valley Library, a branch of the Alameda County Library system. The Library will provide an ASL interpreter for any event with at least seven working days’ notice. Please call 510-667-7900 or TTY 888-663-0660.
