#nbf Heads up: The first batch of podcast interviews with 2009 National Book Festival authors are now online here, on iTunes here (link opens in iTunes client) and on iTunes U here (link opens in iTunes client).
Included in the first round are Junot Diaz, Rickey Minor, James Patterson, George Pelecanos, Nicholas Sparks and David Wroblewski–with more to come. And they’re all free for the listening!
You can read more about the National Book Festival here, and don’t forget to follow us on on Facebook and on Twitter (@librarycongress), which explains the hashtag at the beginning of this post. (Digression: Is it a coincidence that hashtags appear to make a hash of the English language?)
In a first for the Library, you can also sign up to receive text/SMS message alerts by texting BOOK to 61399. (Standard messaging rates apply)
