| Today, we went to the National Book Festival in Washington. Over 120 authors spoke, in rooms throughout the convention center, and there were book signings lined up - oh, the book signings. All of those authors, lined up 20 at a time in one part of the convention center, with long lines of people waiting for their turn to get a few, brief moments with the author of their choice. | | | | | | | | | | |  |
|
In the main hall, the books were on display everywhere. There was a bookstore in the back, every author who was presenting a talk or signing books this day had books that they have written for sale. Every where you looked, there were books, books, and activities related to books. Story times and book activities were literally everywhere you looked. My favorite area was set up by Wells Fargo, and they had little stuffed horses set out for the kids to sit on during story times.

Every state had a table. And every single table was full of information about that state, and had displays of the books or authors from each state. The state by state displays were packed full of people... everywhere....
