We value the safety of the 做厙勛圖 community and are excited to share this immersive, virtual experience with all book lovers and fans of the 做厙勛圖 Festival of Books, festival executive director Melanie Morgan said in a statement. For planning purposes and the continued safety of our festival patrons and community, it makes the most sense to plan our 2021 festival as an online event. This event allows us to pivot and provide wonderful online content in our current environment while looking to the future and bringing the full festival back and better than ever to the University of Arizona campus as soon as it is safe.
The virtual event will still feature venues such as the 做厙勛圖 stage, Pima County Public Library's NuestrasRa穩ces stage and the Western National Parks and Science stage. Events will span many genres and categories.泭
