SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – The Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) is proud to announce the return of Distinguished Author Mitch Albom. The acclaimed writer continues to publish compelling works that captivate audiences. We invite residents to hear from Albom and learn more about his new book, Twice, at our upcoming Distinguished Author Series, Twice the Wisdom: Mitch Albom Returns on Thursday, November 13 at 7 p.m. at the Campbell Heritage Theatre in Campbell.
“The Distinguished Author Series is one of our most popular library programs,” County Librarian Jennifer Weeks said. “Mitch Albom’s first visit was so well received with hundreds of engaged readers in attendance. He really connected with the audience, and we are positive his next visit will be just an enchanting and entertaining.”
Twice explores second chances, telling the story of a man who dares to explore how unchecked desires might mean losing what he has had all along. At its core, Twice is a love story that will have readers think, weep, and overflow with emotion and love. This book will be released on October 7, 2025.
