Kenneth C. Davis on 9/11

9780061118210_0_14413_Author One thing I've always loved about Ken Davis is the fact that any time an American milestone or current event crops up, he can be relied upon to have an educated opinion about it–one that he is always willing to share.  As we approach the tenth anniversary of September 11th, Americans are left with memories of that day as well as questions about our future.  Ken recently did an interview in honor of the anniversary, and it is definitely worth a listen.  For more on Ken, and the Don't Know Much About(c) series, check out his blog.

For those of you with a T.V. (I've recently moved and am without one…suppose that means I have to read), Ken Davis will be on The Today Show tomorrow, Wednesday, June 22 during the 4th hour.  He will be discussing the anniversary edition of Don't Know Much About History, and he's super smart, so tune it to be impressed.

Also, don't forget about our contest: Email Library Love Fest and tell us you want to be included!  Drawing is on June 30 and 50 people will win.

9780061118210_0_14413_Author Here at Librarylovefest, we love to try new things.  So when Kenneth C. Davis (author of the Don't Know Much About series) came to us with an idea for Skyped author events, we were thrilled.  In case you missed it, Ken plans on skyping himself into libraries across the US to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which began in April of 1861.  We've already heard back from a few libraries interested in booking Ken for events this year and next–if you'd like to join in the fun, let him know!

Davis is the author of the ‘Don’t Know Much About…’ series, as well as America's Hidden History and A Nation Rising.  Here in the Library Marketing department, this subject is especially close to our hearts, as some of our favorite Harper books have been banned or challenged in the past, including modern classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and Their Eyes Were Watching God.  Check out Ken's post, and 10 Ways to Celebrate Banned Books Week, courtesy of the New York Times.
