National Book Festival: Virtual for 2020
By Nicolette Baffoni | September 21, 2020
Registration is open for the National Book Festival, which will take place virtually the weekend of September 25 – 27. The Library of Congress National Book Festival is an annual literary event that brings together best-selling authors and thousands of book fans. This year’s event will celebrate “American Ingenuity” in 2020, highlighting the creativity and inspiration of some of America’s most gifted authors in a re-imagined virtual festival.
Registration is free, and allows an attendee to build a schedule to see author presentations, join live chats with authors, enjoy activities from the festival’s partners and Centers for the Book from across America, and more.
Every year the Library of Congress asks each state Center for the Book to select a title that represents the state’s literary landscape to highlight at the National Book Festival as part of the Great Reads From Great Places Initiative. Rhode Island Center for the Book has chosen The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman as the Rhode Island Great Read for 2020. Learn more about The Bridge Home at the RI Center for the Book.
