Let's Read America

Children and families will enjoy reading-related activities in the Let™s Read America pavilion.

Pavilion of the States

The Pavilion of the States, sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, salutes the literary traditions of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. A brochure available in this pavilion, called “Discover Great Places Through Reading,” offers a list of 52 great reads and a map for kids that encourages them to visit all 52 tables (plus the Library of Congress Center for the Book table) to get a unique sticker or stamp. Many of these books will be for sale in the Book Sales Pavilion.

Book Sales

Politics & Prose of Washington, D.C., is the official bookseller for the 2014 Library of Congress National Book Festival. Visit the book sales area conveniently located on Level 2 of the Convention Center if you™d like to purchase selected books by 2014 National Book Festival authors. Be sure to pick up books by your favorite authors before going to the book-signing areas.
