The Library of Congress National Book Festival is taking place this weekend, and participating is a great way to observe Adult Education and Family Literacy Week.

According to the Festival information page, more than 120 authors, poets, and illustrators will be participating on nine virtual stages:

• Children
• Teens
• Family, Food & Field
• Fiction
• Genre Fiction
• History & Biography sponsored by Wells Fargo
• Poetry & Prose sponsored by National Endowment for the Arts
• Science
• Understanding Our World

Author presentation videos for children and teens will be released at 9 AM ET on Friday, September 25, and will be available on demand via the Festival platform, Library website and YouTube. All author presentation videos on other stages will launch at 9 AM ET on the next day, Saturday, September 26. For a complete line-up of authors and their video presentations, please see the complete video on demand list.

From Friday through Sunday, September 25-27, we will feature interactive live Q&A sessions with select authors to complement their presentation videos. We list them in the schedule under “Live Events by Stage” and “Live Events by Day.”

Attendees may also explore the author presentation videos by following three Timely Topic Threads that weave through the festival and offer a more profound appreciation for the subjects – “Democracy in the 21st Century,” “Fearless Women” and “Hearing Black Voices.”

Register to participate, and enjoy!
