The National Book Festival was co-founded in 2001 by First Lady Laura Bush and the Library of Congress and is free and open to everyone. Most authors will participate in book signings following their events.
In addition, PBS Books will once again sit down with featured authors from this year’s Festival to discuss the stories behind their stories during the 2024 Library of Congress National Book Festival Virtual Author Talk Series.
