UNDER ANNA'S UMBRELLA to represent Kentucky on the
“Great Reads from Great Places” list for the 2025 National Book Festival of the Library of Congress

​​​

Every year, each Affiliate Center for the Book chooses two books (one for adults and one for children) to represent their state or territory at the National Book Festival, held at the Washington D.C. Convention Center. Under Anna’s Umbrella will be part of this year’s list, will live indefinitely on the national website, and will be sold at this year’s National Book Festival on Saturday, Sept. 6. I plan to be there! If you'd like to be there too, click the link for more information!
