Thank you. I wouldnt see us surprised to move some bestsellers on the needle today. It is important to keep the book festival a free event that serves the community. The library of congress and the book festivals real purpose is literacy which leads to learning an opportunity, which matches our goal of helping our community succeed. Learning to love books and learning to Love Learning are what the book festival is all about. In this session, ron chernow will discuss his biography of ulysses s. Grant.

It is my privilege to introduce the Deputy Director of national, International Outreach and our session moderator, colleen. [app
