2026 Festival of Books

The 2026 Tucson Festival of Book will take place on the University of Arizona Campus on March 14-15, 2026. Not only is this Tucson gem provided free of charge to the Tucson Community, but we have donated more than $2.5 million dollars to local literacy initiatives since our founding in 2009.

One of the things of which we are most proud is that the Festival is staged almost entirely by volunteers. And, one of the things we love the most about Tucson is that our community makes things happen. That's where you come in. As a neighborhood and community leader we are asking for your help!

We have about two weeks to fill approximately 300 volunteer slots. We'd like to invite your entire neighborhood and all your family and friends to participate in the Tucson Festival of Books, either as an attendee or as a volunteer. Would you be willing to help us spread the word about our volunteer opportunities by sharing this Power of Community Message -- which shows our biggest needs as of today -- with the members of your neighborhood and beyond?

Thanks so much for your consideration.

With gratitude,
