Constitution Day Live Marathon Reading
Event box
Join the University Libraries in honoring Constitution Day and commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States with a special live marathon reading of two of America’s foundational documents: the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
Time: Starts at 1:00 p.m. and concludes once both documents have been fully read
Location: Outside the University Library entrance
Students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to take part as readers or simply stop by to listen and reflect on the words that have shaped—and continue to shape—the nation.

You don’t have to be a reader to attend! All are welcome to stop by and listen throughout the event; no registration required.
