Come to the Gunn HS lunchtime book discussion

On Thursday, February 21, a city librarian will be at Gunn High School to lead a lunchtime book discussion for Gunn students about "The Distant Land of My Father" by Bo Caldwell. Set in Shanghai on the eve of World War II, "Distant Land" is a story about home, family, love and loss. We'll munch on delicious pot stickers while we talk about this fascinating story. There will be a free drawing to win a copy of the book. You can check out a copy of "Distant Land" from the Gunn library or reserve a copy here. "Distant Land of My Father" is this year's selection for 'Silicon Valley Reads', and author Bo Caldwell will discuss her book at the Palo Alto Art Center on February 24 at 3 p.m.
