Featured Event
2010 Tucson Festival of Books!!!
It's time once again for the Tucson Festival of Books, a fun-filled two-day extravaganza that celebrates everything we love about storytelling and the written word. Last year's event was an amazing success with more than 50,000 people in attendance, and this year's event will be even bigger and better! Bookmans is proud to be a contributing sponsor of the Tucson Festival of Books again this year. Join us at our two Bookmans tents as we work together to create a giant Fight Censorship community art project, with book recommendations from you! In our Kids' Tent, we'll be bringing back our ever-popular canvas bag decorating from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. each day, with a fabulous storytime featuring balloon art, face-painting and free snacks from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.!
