    This Friday through Sunday proceeds from any book, magazine or CD purchased at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Eastridge Mall, will help support Arts Council Silicon Valley, a local nonprofit that supports the arts groups and artists throughout Santa Clara County. All you have to do is print out a copy of the voucher here and bring it with you to the Eastridge Barnes & Noble on any one of the days listed. Simply hand it in when you make your purchase and a percentage of the sales will go directly to the Arts Council so we can continue to make your community a better place to live and work. The more money raised, the higher a percentage that will go to the arts. We are also presenting a number of exciting events at Barnes & Noble during this time, which are free to the public: Fri 7pm: The San Jose Chamber Players, classical music trio Sat 12pm: Children’s story time followed by David Sharpe, children’s singer / songwriter Sun 3:30pm: Poetry readings and book signings from three of the Arts Council’s former Artist Fellows: Truong Tran - author of Dust and Conscience, Winner: Poetry Center Book Award for 2002, Placing the Accents, Within the Margin, and The Book of Perceptions.
