Taos Reads: A Free Book. A World of Ideas.

High School Students: Your Next Great Read Is on Us!

St. John’s College is coming to Taos with a gift for local high school students: a free classic paperback of their choice. Why? Because great books introduce us to unfamiliar worlds, challenge our assumptions, and invite us into conversations that can change the way we think.

4 p.m. | Free Classic Book Giveaway

Choose a classic to take home, courtesy of St. John’s College, America’s Great Books College. Meet college faculty and alumni and explore the Millicent Rogers Museum.

And There’s More to the Story.

Moderated by St. John’s College.

7 p.m. | Experience a St. John’s Seminar
