Guy I'm not sure what practices will be by the time the bags are available, but many libraries in Maryland are bagging up books/materials for curbside service to reduce the number of touches. I'm sure there's an opportunity there to distribute Book TV bags so I'm interested.

Hi, everyone,

As most of you know, C-SPAN distributes a very popular mesh bag at the book festival. Many people collect these Book TV bags. Since we are obviously not going to be able to do that this year, would you be interested having a supply of the bags (I don’t know quantity yet) for distribution through, perhaps, libraries, via mail, etc.?
