Tucson

Tucson is a place of neighborhoods, and you’ll find Casa Libre en la Solana in the heart of artsy, funky, lively 4th Avenue. 4th Avenue is known for its restaurants, bars, and quirky shops, so any trip to Casa Libre can be rounded out with these particular joys. At this crossroads between Downtown Tucson and the University area, Casa Libre’s bright red letters, mosaic desert scene, and ornate black gates mark a haven of thought and intellect, a place of community and creativity, a home to lively discussions, performances, and artistic development.

Once you’ve gone out in the desert and beheld the Sonoran shine, come on down, get a bite to eat on the Avenue, step in for a reading, a pie-making demonstration, a film screening, a book release party, a symposium or any of our other offerings. (Please check the events listing, first! We post our events here on our website, on Facebook and on Meetup.com, so feel free to befriend us in the ether, too.)

"Tucson, too SAHN or TOO sahn, is one of the oldest towns in the United States. Tucson was orginally an Indian village called Stook-zone, meaning water at the foot of black mountain. Hugo O'Conor established the Tucson Presidio in 1775. August 20th, 1775 is considered Tucson's birthday. Spanish settlers arrived in the area in 1776. Tucson officially became part of the United States with the Gadsden Purchase of 1854. Tucson served as capital of the Arizona Territory from 1867 to 1877.

Tucson boasts the best of both worlds...the progress and innovation of a metropolitan community and the friendly, caring atmosphere of a small town. Tucson's rich cultural heritage centers around a unique blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American influences. Blessed with the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert and an unsurpassed climate of 360 sunny days a year, Tucsonans embrace a rare lifestyle and are committed to preserving that quality of life."
