About this file
This document is a venue layout and space allocation guide for the 2026 National Book Festival, showing floor plans and room assignments across multiple levels of what appears to be the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington, D.C.
The facility includes four operational levels with distinct functional areas. The First Floor-South contains volunteer coordination spaces (Rooms 101-103 with 206-400 theater capacity), multiple author stages in Salons ABC and GHI (755 capacity each), bag check areas, and support facilities including information booths and C-SPAN broadcasting space. The First Floor-North houses six author stages (Rooms 145AB, 146ABC, 150AB, 151AB, 152AB with 455-1,263 capacity), decibel audio equipment and command center operations (Rooms 140AB, 147AB), queue management areas, and specialized hold rooms for survey teams and ASL interpreters. The Second Floor provides additional author stages (Rooms 202AB, 204ABC, 209ABC with ~325-550 capacity), media facilities, LOC command and operations centers, pavilion space, and administrative areas. The Third Floor contains the primary 52,000 square-foot Ballroom ABC with 4,000-person capacity designated as the main author stage, plus six support rooms (301-306, 775 square feet each) for medical, mothers, quiet, VIP greenroom, and streaming command functions. The Expo Halls level (below ground) allocates space for exhibitor booths, sponsors, the Library of Congress Pavilion, book signings, sales, and food and beverage operations. All documents are marked as draft subject to change as of April 3, 2024 or November 19, 2025.
