The reading game
The Santa Clara County Library District is encouraging patrons to press “start” on its summer reading program, “Level Up at Your Library,” at its branch libraries including Campbell.
According to the California Library Association, summer reading programs help children and teens retain and enhance their reading skills over the summer and benefit adults by stimulating the brain, increasing vocabulary and sparking imagination.
Library patrons can register at sccl.beanstack.com/reader365 to earn a prize for reading five books and completing an activity. “Level Up at Your Library” runs through July 31. Completion prizes will be available Aug. 1-31 while supplies last. For more information, visit sccld.org/summer.

The Santa Clara County Library District is kicking off its next Distinguished Author Series with a conversation with spy novelist and former journalist Daniel Silva on Friday, July 18, at 7 p.m. at Campbell’s Heritage Theatre.
Silva is the author of the long-running Gabriel Allon spy thriller series. His work as a journalist has taken him to different parts of the world, which has helped set the scene of many Gabriel Allon adventures.
Silva’s wife, CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel, will grill him about his latest novel, “An Inside Job,” in which art restorer and sometimes spy Allon is tasked with recovering a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci while solving the death of a mystery woman. The novel is set for release on Tuesday, July 15.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. The first 200 people in line at the Heritage Theatre have the chance to receive a free copy of “An Inside Job.”
The Distinguished Author Series is free and open to the public. Registration for this event is required to sccld.org/DanielSilva.
