2020

Burlingame Reads 2020 has come to an end, however we invite you to continue speaking about mental health, view event recordings, and check out the featured title and others from our booklist! Thanks to our partner NAMI San Mateo County and California Center for the Book.

Featuring The Collected Schizophrenias by Esmé Weijun Wang, we aim to continue peeling away the stigma and misconceptions associated with mental health. In collaboration with our partner, NAMI San Mateo County, we will be presenting workshops, speakers, and other opportunities to engage on the subject. We invite Teens and Adults to join us for this series.
