Description: Book festivals are special events where authors are celebrities and audiences are bookworms ready to nerd out among their our own.

Every year, more than 100 of these festivals take place nationwide. And one of the largest is in the nation's capital, hosted by the world's biggest library: The Library of Congress.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden joins us to discuss highlights from this year's National Book Festival, in Washington D.C.

We hear from some of the country's most prominent authors on their latest works, and the inspiration behind their craft.
