And what contribution could i make. Why did you say yes . Because when i really thought about the treasures and what is contained in the library of co
At the mississippi book festival in jackson to talk about literacy and american libraries. [inaudible conversations] good morning everyone. Welcome to the third mississippi book festival. In the Mississippi Department of archives and history. Ive been asked to remind everyone that you are more than welcome to take photographs, post to social media, and the hash tag is literarylongparty. This is the conversation with the library of Congress Panel sponsored by the Mississippi Humanities Council and friends of the library.
