National Book Festival's schedule

The National Book Festival is jam-packed full of fun stuff for kids and teens. One example is the schedule―full of author events. Events for children and teens take place throughout the day (Saturday, August 30).

To make the festival even more accessible, the Library of Congress has created a webpage for Kids and Teachers. This online resource allows users to search by author, color bookmarks (past and present), participate in the Eye Spy activity for this year's festival poster, and much more.
