USF Libraries will be hosting a booth at EcoFest on Saturday, April 22nd, celebrating Earth Day 2023! This community event is hosted by Learning Gate Community School and the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI). It celebrates the many businesses, organizations, and individuals in the Tampa Bay area that are dedicated to the principles of sustainability, ecology, equity, and economy.

Come see us to grab some USF Libraries swag and complementary #ColorOurCollections coloring books featuring images from our rare books and archives. We’ll be sharing information and materials showcasing our Florida Environment and Natural History (FLENH) collections. FLENH is committed to the preservation of and access to resources centered on the impacts to, and effects on, Florida’s natural environment. Through data, archives, books, reports, and other media, this diverse meta-collection serves as an entry point for scholars studying topics ranging from marine science to ornithology, climate change, and environmental policy.

Come celebrate Earth Day with the USF Libraries! Saturday, April 22nd at MOSI (4801 East Fowler Ave., Tampa, FL 33617) from 10AM to 3PM. Admission and parking are free. There will also be live music, demonstrations, informational booths, green living products and services, local vendors, food trucks, and more!
