President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will preside over the ninth National Book Festival, a daylong celebration of the joys of reading and literacy, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26, on the National Mall.

"The National Book Festival has become a true American institution," said James Billington, the librarian of Congress. "It is a joyous and very popular celebration of books and reading in the Washington, D.C., area."

The Library of Congress organizes and sponsors the event, which is free and open to the public

4. Pickles did indeed preside and actually she started the festival in 2001

W never did anything with it which makes sense. He could of helped with the section on books for children. He could specialize in the picture books.

5. Bush said he like the Hungry Caterpillar

but the Hungry caterpillar wasn't written when he was a small boy!

His favorite was the Fart Book surely?
