i was wondering if you would like to mention a little bit about the great reads from great places

Happy to talk about that.

So all of our centers are invited each year to highlight two books, one book for a youth audience and one book for an adult audience.

And when put together, we have a beautiful list of titles then that really represent the span of America's literary heritage, you know, across all the whole map, if you want to think about it that way.

And several of the states invite their, you know, their picks to come.

And some of them do come and they get to do book signings within the Great Reads, within the Roadmap to Reading Pavilion.

This year we made buttons for them to wear so they can walk around the festival with a note on that says, I'm an author, come and talk to me.

Exactly.
