This spring, NBF Presents brought 25 National Book Award–honored authors to 16 events to rural, urban, and suburban readers across 12 states! Over 1,000 books were distributed to students and community members at Appalshop in Whitesburg, KY; Berea College in Berea, KY; Coahoma Community College in Clarksdale, MS; Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, NE; New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM; and the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO. Thanks to our incredible partners at arts centers, colleges, libraries, and book festivals across the country, and to everyone who joined us virtually and in person. 📸 credit: Peter Hedlund, Bruce Owens, Chase Castor, Stacey Lewis, Crystal Wylie, Jonathan Ferrer, Tom Grady, Literally Literary Podcast Team, Austin Britt, and Travis Garwood
