Nikki Dobbins: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

The Literary Initiatives office's mission is to produce onsite and online literary events that promote reading and connect people with authors and the Library's collections and experts. One primary focus is programming the National Book Festival. Nikki Dobbins' 2023 Junior Fellowship project was to create a virtual attendee guide for the 2023 National Book Festival. The guide's goal is to help increase the Festival's visibility and discoverability, encourage digital engagement, and reinforce the "National" aspect of the National Book Festival. The guide encourages national engagement by highlighting and directing virtual attendees to the multiple access points for engaging with Festival programming before, during, and after the Festival date. The virtual guide will provide guidance on how virtual attendees can use the "Add to Calendar" feature to build their own Festival schedule, find all livestreamed programs, be notified when recorded author presentations become available, discover local watch parties, explore "Great Reads from Great Places" book selections from each state and connect with other virtual attendees nationwide through the hashtag #NatBookFest.
