Welcome to the #FedFeed, a daily collection of federal ephemera gathered from social media and presented for your enjoyment.

The Library of Congress held the National Book Festival over the weekend. Stephen King was recognized for his contributions to literacy.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also on hand with an important message about reading.

Representative John Lewis (D-Ga.) also appeared, doing a book signing, taking part in a panel on graphic novels (his memoirs of the civil rights movement, entitled “March,” take the form of a graphic novel trilogy), and taking pictures with Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.
