New Spring Reads for 2026!

Spring has arrived with warmer weather and longer days of light! This is the perfect time of year to read outside and maybe even host a book club at a local bistro or park. I tend to enjoy the morning hours on my 2nd floor balcony with a cup of coffee and a good book in hand. Some nice music playing in the background. It's actually a good way to start the day!

Here at San Jose Public Library, we have a wonderful selection of the latest releases in our adult fiction and nonfiction sections. If you're in the mood for historical fiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, or horror fiction...we have it all, and so much more!
