We're proud to be a sponsor of the University of Arizona's College of Humanities annual Tucson Humanities Festival! This year's festival features a series of local events, lectures, and special guests, including former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove. Take a look at these great offerings and add them to your calendar! Also, as part of this year's festival, the Library is posting (on YouTube and SoundCloud) children's stories from around the globe read by UA scholars.
This year's theme is community. According to the festival's organizers:
Community is found wherever and however people collect together in places, in groups, in ideas, in hopes and in fears. Community is found in streets and neighborhoods, towns and cities and countries. It's found in ideas and beliefs and ambitions. Together, we find strength and friendship, support and love, trust and compassion. In communities, we celebrate and we mourn. Community is what we have in common. It's our unity. How can we create and share in a community? What's the power of a community?
