Junior League of Washington Members Celebrate Literacy at the National Book Festival

Over four hundred Junior League of Washington volunteers will join the Library of Congress to promote literacy at the 2010 National Book Festival on Saturday, September 25, on the National Mall.  The event, organized and sponsored by the Library of Congress, is free and open to the public.  More than 120,000 people attend this annual event, featuring authors and celebrating the joy of lifetime reading.  This will be the ninth year the JLW has demonstrated its commitment to literacy through its support of the National Book Festival.  Many thanks to all of our hard-working volunteers!
