There is so much going on next weekend but one sure bet is the National Book Festival in Washington, DC on Sept. 26. This is a FREE event that has something for family members of all ages.
There are different pavilions including one with PBS Kids Raising Readers and ReadAloud.org. Visit the pavilion for your home state. Kids can collect stamps and stickers from many of the stations.
