Montana

The Montana Center for the Book will promote the National Book Festival at the Montana Book Festival in Missoula on Sept. 27-28 and through publicity for the Montana Festival. Several programs at the Montana Festival will be organized around the National Festival theme, "Celebrating America's Stories." The third annual Montana Book Festival, a project of the Montana Humanities Committee/Montana Center for the Book, will be held in historic downtown Missoula. Statewide publicity for the Montana Festival will include publicity for the National Book Festival and the "Celebrating America's Stories" programs. The programs themselves will include a workshop on preserving family histories and stories; "Writer's Choice," featuring some of the West's best-loved authors reading from their favorite works by others, thus sharing their love of America's stories; and storytelling for both children and adults.
