Next Thursday, November 21st,  the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes World Philosophy Day.  Since its inception in 2002, the third Thursday of November encourages a continued dialog about contemporary issues and reflection on classic debates.  Unsure where to start? Flavorwire links readers to their top 10 Great Works of Fiction for Philosophers (November  2013.)

Tip: Consider a display in your library noting this day (enlist students to help.) Or, download one of the 10 works of fiction listed on a device(s) available for check-out.
