Winners Announced Soon!

See our "Gilroy Library: Forgiveness" page for complete information on the recent writing contest.
As in the novel, The Distant Land of My Father, forgiveness may arise out of betrayal and reconciliation. Gilroy Library invited writers to explore the theme of forgiveness in a short work of fiction, non-fiction or poetry. A reception for the writers will be held during National Library Week. Winning entries will be read aloud and posted on the library web site. More information on Silicon Valley Reads events and Caldwell's book can be found on the Silicon Valley Reads site.
