The National Book Foundation which produces the annual National Book Awards in November is a year-round operation with educational outreach programming made possible by a multi-year US$900,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
All announced programming for this season running through June in the ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic will be held, of course, exclusively online, at no cost to viewers. Loyalty Bookstores in Washington, DC, is to again be the program’s bookseller.
