The New Jersey Center for the Book will promote the National Book Festival at a major event in Newark on Oct. 2 at which the New Jersey Center will designate the Newark Public Library as its first state Literary Landmark. As a featured speaker, Center for the Book Director John Y. Cole will describe the forthcoming National Book Festival. Three important authors who appreciate the role of the Newark Public Library in their own development will be present: Amy Hill Hearth, Walter Dean Myers (who participated in the 2001 National Book Festival), and Philip Roth, whose papers are at the Library of Congress. The National Book Festival will be included in the statewide publicity for the event.
