Writers, here’s something you’d appreciate! “The Fannin Library Fall Book Sale is nearing the end.
Stop by to find old and rare Arizona titles, gently used DVDs and a great assortment of books.
Great gifts for the fall season.”

Congrats to one of our Faculty members, Cody Wilson, and one of our Creative Writing students, Magdaleno Perez,
for having their poems selected and awarded as winners for the Space2Create contest, which will be read from space by Dr. Proctor! Very cool! 🪐🛸🖋
