This year’s National Book Festival will take place on August 12, 2023, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Every year we are treated to the opportunity of seeing some our favorite authors and creators at the National Book Festival. The Festival also includes tables and pavilions with fun activities and giveaways. This year you will be able to learn more about the Library’s collections of comic books and newspapers at the Library of Congress Pavilion, and hear from some incredible authors and artists at the six other stages. Don’t miss your chance to see these presentations at the National Book Festival!
