Our Community Reads: Voting Party

Scotts Valley Branch

The VOTE is here at last! Join us to pick the 2027 OCR book for our community!

 It was tough this year, but in the end, we definitely have a theme (not by plan).  Our focus is on the environment, and these books encompass its delicate balance, threats, beauty, and solutions for dealing with some of the dangers we face. 

Each book has merit and a myriad of possibilities for events to be planned around them.  

Our candidates are:

The Music of Bees, by Eileen Garvin (2021) 

Shade:  The Promise of a Forgotten Natural Resource by Sam Bloch (2025) 

The Tree Collectors by Amy Stewart ((2026) 

California Against the Sea:  Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline by Rosanna Xia (2023) was a contender for 2025.
