Join book lovers of all ages on Sept. 5, 2015, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., to celebrate books and reading. This year’s line-up of children’s and teens authors includes Kwame Alexander, Cece Bell, Phillip Hoose, Sonia Manzano, Shelia P. Moses, Jon Scieszka and many more! There’s also a Picture Books pavilion, a presentation featuring “A Book That Shaped Me” and Letters About Literature student essay contest winners, and a pavilion to discover more about the Library of Congress.
Order the patch online before the festival (http://library-of-congress-shop.myshopify.com/products/national-book-festival-scout-patch) or purchase it on-site the day of, and let your scouts proudly show off their attendance at this memorable event.
