National Book Month

October 1 marks the start of National Book Month - so we wanted to bring our visitors some information on how the month is being observed and celebrated.
However, the official webpage over at the National Book Foundation site seems to be at a loss and has yet to post anything at all - the page still promises "We are currently preparing materials and programs for National Book Month 2006 (October)."

With literally no press releases to be found and a very few corporate celebrations (Crayola, for one.) we wonder if the importance of National Book Month has simply been lost.

Fortunately, are celebrating in earnest and it seems, for now, your local branch is the best place to get information on this month-long celebration of books.
