Cindy Roupe is the Director of Reference and Eric Norris is the State Librarian for the Kansas State Library. They will speak about Kansas Notable books and the Kansas Book Festival. Annually a committee of academics, librarians, and authors of previous Notable Books identifies 15 quality titles from among those published the previous year, and Eric Norris, the State Librarian, makes the final selection. Books must be either written by Kansans or about a Kansas related topic. The Kansas Notable Book List gives visibility to contemporary writers in Kansas and encourages readers to enjoy their best writing. For 20 years, September has brought the National Book Festival to Washington, DC. One notable book is selected from Kansas' award winners to be highlighted at this festival and an event honoring Kansas writers is held in Topeka. Learn more from our speakers!
