Nationwide Activities

Maryland

The Maryland Center for the Book will promote the National Book Festival through Maryland's 27 public library systems through the design, production, and distribution of promotional materials such as posters, bookmarks, and buttons and at the Baltimore Book Festival on Sept. 27-29. The slogan for the initiative will be "The National Book Festival: It's Right Next Door." The Director of the Baltimore Book Festival supports this initiative and is going to develop other ways to support the National Book Festival. The print campaign will focus on community newspapers throughout Maryland and on The Baltimore Sun and The Washington Post. Coupons distributed throughout the campaign will be redeemed for promotional items at the Maryland table in the Pavilion of the States during the National Book Festival.
