San Jose Leaders Share their Library Story

SJPL's "Leaders x Libraries" blog series features our San José Mayor and City Council.

In this exclusive series, our local leaders will share their favorite books, the role libraries played in their life, and what they love most about libraries. We will release new profiles leading up to National Library Week, April 23-29.
