Libya Edition
World Last Minute Errand Day leads today's complete edition for Libya.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the thing remembered at the door, bought before closing, delivered before supper, or rescued just in time.
A day celebrating Libyan literature, from the ancient inscriptions of the Acacus to the modern novels of Ibrahim al-Koni, Ahmad al-Faqih, and Hisham Matar. Libyan literature is produced in Arabic, Tamazight, and the dialects of the south, and it deals with themes of exile, dictatorship, the desert, and the search for identity. The day includes book fairs, poetry readings, and the awarding of literary prizes. The cities of Tripoli and Benghazi have the most active literary scenes, and the online literary community is growing among the diaspora.
