Librarians of all stripes are people that heart books. So we simply had to point out some fun, book-related and literary events and places in the MD-DC-VA area.

1. Kramerbooks & AfterWords Cafe - a great, independent bookstore located in the heart of Dupont Circle. Open pretty late every day, features a fabulous cafe and unofficially famous as a great place to meet people of the same bookish bent.

2. Capitol Hill Books - a cramped, tiny and wonderfully quirky little bookshop located in Eastern Market. Look out for the book section in the 'bathroom'.

3. Library of Congress National Book Festival - next festival: September 29, 2007. http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/

4. Bethesda Literary Festival - gathering of writers and readers in downtown Bethesda, MD. Community-oriented and family-friendly. Last festival: April 20-22,2007. http://www.bethesda.org/specialevents/litfest/litfest.htm

5. Friends of the Library Bookstores- Used bookstores that benefit the Montgomery County Libraries! Great stuff, cheap prices (especially for children's books). http://www.folmc.org/bookstores/
