Bummed that you can't make it all the way to New Orleans for the American Library Association convention? Me too.
Don't worry, I think I have found our cure: The National Book Festival.
Seems like DC is already gearing up for the Library of Congress sponsored event, which will be a two day affair on September 24 and 25.
Attendees can traipse across the National Mall, enjoying the sun, the authors, and the books, books, books.
Last year's event brought over 80 different authors, illustrators and poets from across the U.S.
Mum's the word on the authors attending, but if last year's turn out is any indication (Jonathan Safran Foer, Katherine Paterson and Norton Juster, to name a few), we are in for a treat.
