The Tucson Festival of Books takes over the University of Arizona mall and adjacent buildings on March 14-15. The third-largest book event in the nation, it attracts about 350 presenting authors and an expected attendance of 130,000 to 140,000.
A panel discussion โ โNavigating the Tucson Festival of Booksโ โ to help you make the most of the festival is set for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26 in the Tucson Medical Center Marshall Auditorium.
During the hour-long session, panelists directly involved in the book festivalโs development and operation will explain and explore:
- The layout of the festival, where to park, 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 March 8
- How the free ticketing process for some of the popular authors works
There will be time for questions and answers, too.
The session is free, but registration is required as seating is limited. Register at tucson.com/workshop.
The Marshall Auditorium is on the east side of the TMC building, facing Craycroft Road. Free parking is available in the Catalina Parking Garage, which is north of the TMC building.
