Pinedale author Cat Urbigkit’s The Guardian Team has been selected as the Wyoming book for this year’s National Book Festival, which will be held Sept. 22 & 23 in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall.

The 2012 Library of Congress National Book Festival will feature award-winning authors, poets, and illustrators in several pavilions dedicated to categories of literature. Festival-goers can meet and hear firsthand from their favorite authors, get books signed, have photos taken with mascots and storybook characters and participate in a variety of learning activities.

The Wyoming State Library will participate in the Pavilion of the States, which represents reading- and library promotion programs and literary events in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. trusts and territories.
