The 11th annual National Book Festival, organized and sponsored by the Library of Congress, will take place on the National Mall this weekend! There's lots of events taking place as part of this event - which spans 7 blocks lone - but there is lots of info on the website you can check out more thoroughly if you like.

Some of what you can expect... More than 100 authors, illustrators and poets will make presentations on the National Mall throughout the weekend in the Fiction & Mystery, History & Biography, Contemporary Life, Poetry & Prose, Children, and Teens pavilions, the Family Storytelling Stage, and (Sunday only) The Cutting Edge, State Poets Laureate, and Graphic Novels will be represented under the banner of the Pavilion of the States.

Of course, books will also be for sale so you might want to bring along some cash or credit.
