The Tucson Festival of Books takes over the University of Arizona Mall and adjacent buildings March 2-3. The third-largest book event in the nation attracts about 350 presenting authors and an expected attendance of 130,000 to 140,000.
Our annual panel discussion โ Navigating the Tucson Festival of Books โ to help you make the most of the festival, is 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, in Tucson Medical Centerโs Marshall Auditorium.
Panelists involved in the book festivalโs operation will explain and explore:
- The layout of the festival, where to park and where to find what you are looking for.
- How to use the website, mobile apps and other electronic tools as a guide to the festival.
- How to use the special section that will be published in the Arizona Daily Star on Sunday, Feb. 24.
- How to use these tools to plan your days.
- How the free ticketing process for some of the popular authors works.
There will be time for questions and answers, too.
