# Archiving the National Book Festival

In preparation for the 2021 National Book Festival, 2021 Junior Fellows Morgan Gibbs and Rae Enzie designed a project that would enhance the Library's immensely popular annual event. The first part of their project featured an interactive webpage designed using the ArcGIS StoryMaps platform. Inspired by this year's theme of "Open a Book, Open the World," the map takes guests on a journey across the globe with a selection of the 2012-2021 National Book Festival's featured books, with each book plotted according to its setting. The second part of the project involved a collaboration with the Office of Communications (OC) to conduct an audit of the social media platforms used by the authors and presenters involved with this year's festival. This audit will allow OC to fully utilize the reach of the authors' social media presence when promoting the festival, and to engage with a wid e range of people from across the United States and the world
