A look at one of the longest-running stages at the National Book Festival, or “pavilions,” as we used to call them: History. The History stage (now called History & Biography) has, since the very first festival, on Sept. 8, 2001, welcomed the nation’s preeminent historians to Washington.
We are five weeks away from the 20th annual National Book Festival! If you are a parent, you are likely a fan of the Library or the festival, but how could you get your kids excited, too? We challenge you and your family to read across the Library!
The National Book Festival website now features a virtually accessible archive of the festival's 20-year history, which includes photo galleries, interviews, reflections, and infographics.
