The Wisconsin Center for the Book will promote the National Book Festival through publicity for the Festival on four statewide CBS radio programs from August-October and as part of its project to update Wisconsin's Community of the Book, which highlights Wisconsin organizations that promote books, reading, literacy, and libraries throughout Wisconsin. Both projects will publicize Wisconsin's presence in the Pavilion of the States at the National Book Festival on October 12, and invite anyone with a Wisconsin connection to "drop by" to learn about the "community of the book" project and other Wisconsin Center for the Book projects that promote Wisconsin's authors and book culture. The radio features will be live telephone interviews on "BookMarks & Art," a monthly program on CBS affiliate WFHR that is co-hosted by a member of the Wisconsin Center for the Book's advisory board. Center for the Book Director John Y. Cole will be interviewed about the National Book Festival on the September 19 program.
