UCSB Reads 2026 Events
UCSB Reads 2026 will launch January 13 with a free book giveaway for UCSB students and culminate with a public talk by Michelle Zauner at Campbell Hall on May 7.
Throughout the winter and spring quarters (January–June 2026), the Library will sponsor talks, book clubs, workshops, and other learning, experiential, and social events to explore the book's themes.
All UCSB Reads 2026 events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
