Dallas Literary Festival Programs

The Dallas Public Library joins SMU in a collaborative partnership supporting the kick-off week of the Dallas Literary Festival from March 18 to 22, 2022.

This year’s theme is RESILIENCE, progressing forward during the powerful and unpredictable currents in social movements, politics, and public health that have shaped the world in recent years.
