The Tucson Festival of Books is a three-day long free annual book fair held in Tucson, Arizona, at the University of Arizona Mall. The festival was established in 2009 with the mission to improve Southern Arizona literacy rates among children and adults. The event includes panels by bestselling and new authors, special programs for children and teens, a literary circus, a poetry venue, culturally diverse programs, two food courts, and individual exhibitor booths. Since its formation, the festival has donated more than $1.65 million to those agencies that significantly improve literacy in the Arizona community, such as University of Arizona Literacy Outreach Programs, Reading Seed, and Literacy Connects.
