Hello everyone!

I'm not sure if some of you have heard of this, but next Saturday (the 27th), the Library of Congress is holding a National Book Festival on the Mall in DC.

A lot of really great authors are going to be there list here!, and it sounds like just a really good event to go to! :)

Does anyone here think they will be able to make it? Unfortunately, I've been scheduled to work that day so won't be able to go down, but I would love to be able to have a feature about this event for my site. If you think you'd be interested in going and reporting on the event, please let me know! My e-mail is stephanie@thewritething.org"

Hi Stephanie,
Are you affiliated with the Open Library Project. That is a really great idea. I know Google has scanned many books from the New York public library.

Unfortunately, no, I am not affiliated with them, but I have come across The Open Library several times and it is a very fascinating project!
