Temple University Libraries

Current and Upcoming Programs

This year, Temple University Libraries' Beyond the Page public programming series centers our curated, thematic programs around access and opportunity. This theme gives us a space to engage our various communities in conversations about what barriers—whether cultural, financial, physical, or otherwise—limit opportunities and how we can move toward a more accessible world. The Beyond the Page series also consists of a variety of other programs, exhibitions, concerts, workshops, and events developed around timely topics and in collaboration with our on-and-off campus partners.
