ELEMENT 2: PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY

Describe how this project was identified as a need (include supporting data and statistical information), how it relates to your library’s strategic plan or other local planning documents, what will be accomplished if this project is implemented, and how you will know whether your project is successful. Your summary should relate to activities in the timeline (Element 4).

The mission of California Center for the Book (CCFB) is to help the librarians of California get their communities reading and connecting. We help librarians develop and expand adult and multigenerational programs that promote reading, community engagement, and lifelong learning. We also offer professional development opportunities and resources to help librarians and community partners achieve these goals. We value collaboration, community-building, and innovation. California Center for the Book's mission and programs directly relate to the California Library Services and Technology Act 2018-2022 Invesment Plan Goal 3: California libraries inspire, support, and engage in innovation, creativity, connections, and collaboration in their communites. By participating in CCFB programs and professional development opportunities, librarians join cohorts of like-minded professionals who are moving the field forward and the reach of public libraries outward into the commuity. In FY1617 and FY1718 CCFB’s reach expanded to reach hundreds of library jurisdictions across California. In FY1819, CCFB programs and professional development events are expected to reach 14,000+ California community members, 250+ California Librarians, and establish or solidify 100+ community partnerships. Librarians participating in CCFB programs produce quality programs in collaboration with their community partners, engage in purposeful outreach to their communities, and impact their community members. One Book to Action participant in FY1718 said, “I couldn’t have asked for a better, more meaningful event.” A participating librarian said of the Rural Libraries Tour program in FY1718, “The workshop itself was a success but it is also a great exercise in the importance of flexibility, community engagement and partnerships. It made me a better librarian.” In FY1819, CCFB plans to expand the reach of programs for California community members and increase the reach of CCFB professional development opportunities for librarians throughout California. In FY 1819, Book to Action, a proven model for community engagement and volunteerism based on an engaging, locally selected work of literature, will grow from 22 to 25 programs, with the potential to impact 8,000 community members and form 50+ community partnerships. In FY1819, CCFB will team up with Veterans Connect @ the Library to extend the reach of Californians: Community Conversations with Veterans program from 13 to 15 programs, with the potential to impact 1,500 community members and form 15+ community partnerships. CCFB will continue the established working partnership with Poets & Writers to produce the Rural Libraries Tour, while co-producing two special Fall workshops with California Poet Laureate, Dana Gioia. In FY1819, CCFB plans to expand the Rural Libraries Tour workshops from 10 to 12 rural libraries and require a community partner to ensure success, expanding the program reach to 350 community members and 12+ community partners. In FY1819, CCFB will work closely with the California Library Literacy Services community on the Read, Connect Discover: Library Bingo program, reaching 5,000+ community members and solidifying partnerships and programming opportunities between Adult Services Librarians & Adult Literacy staff across the state. In FY1819, CCFB will expand the annual Adult Services Symposium due to continued high demand and positive feedback from attendees and presenters. The 2018 Symposium capacity was reached months ahead of the event (theme: Power of Partnerships) with more than 110 registered attendees and 30+ wait-listed librarians. The 2019 Symposium (theme: to be community-generated) is tentatively scheduled to accommodate up to 175+ librarians in a location that promises to pull librarians from Central and Inland counties. Outreach and support for presenters from rural and under-served communities will increase. The CCFB Advisory Council, a dynamic group of ten librarians from across the state, will continue to advise on program development and state-wide goal alignment and needs. In FY1718, an opening for two Council members generated ten excellent applicants, further demonstrating interest in CCFB professional and leadership development in support of adult and multigeneration programming. CCFB will be successsful if programs continue to reach increasing numbers of California community members and librarians, programs continue to meet intended state-wide outcomes based on surveys and feedback from community members and librarians, programs continue to provide flexibility to meet local needs, participating librarian interest and numbers increase, feedback continues to demonstrate that CCFB professional development and training opportunties fill a gap for librarians wishing to engage adults and multigenerational groups, supportive cohorts of librarians continue to innovate and share while putting ideas into practice, and community partners continue to engage with California libraries.

California Center for the Book California Library Association 1055 E. Colorado Blvd. 5th Floor

Pasadena, California 91106

Dear Julianna,

• LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Thank you for your continued affiliation with the Center for the Book here at the Library of Congress.

We are very grateful for the participation and involvement of the California Center for the Book, hosted

by the California Library Association.

We consider the California center to be among the strongest in our network of 52 affiliated Centers for

the Book, and that is due to your continual innovation and dedication to the Center's mission of

promoting books, reading, libraries and literacy.

The Library of Congress Center for the Book also promotes poetry and literature through its Poetry and

Literature Center, which is home of the U.S. Poet Laureate. The Center for the Book was established by

public law in 1977 and incorporates several private-public partnerships designed to implement

programs, awards and prizes in order to nurture and expand a culture of literacy and reading. Since its

founding, the Library of Congress Center for the Book has established affiliate centers in the 50 states,

the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Center's mission is also carried out

internationally through some overseas affiliates. Additionally, more than 80 organizations have been

designated Center for the Book reading promotion partners both in the United States and abroad.

As an affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, each state center, including the

California Center for the Book, is provided with training and resources to promote literacy and reading in

California. The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress hosts best practices sharing meetings at

the annual Idea Exchange and the National Book Festival, both in Washington D.C.

The California Center for the Book is vital to the health of the overall Center network, establishing a local

connection for the Library of Congress in our largest state. We look forward to many more years of

cooperation and collaboration.

Letter of Agreement Library Services and Technology Act

Dear Panelists,

Poets & Writers (P&W) is looking forward to partnering with California Center for the Book on the Rural Libraries Tour for fiscal year 2018-2019. This partnership, now entering its nineteenth year, sends experienced writers to teach creative writing workshops in rural California libraries.

In the coming fiscal year, we plan to send writers Olga Garcia Echeverria, Tim Z. Hernandez, and Susan Wooldridge to twelve locations. P&W provides $200 per workshop to the writer via our Readings & Workshops program, California Center for the Book provides $200 from grant funds, and the libraries have the option to provide up to an additional $100, if possible. Poets & Writers and California Center for the Book collaborate to plan, promote, evaluate, and improve the program.

Last fall, P&W featured testimonials from the teaching writers on our Readings & Workshops blog (https://www.pw.org/content/traversing_california_on_the_rural_libraries_tour) and the tour was recently featured in the May /June issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, (https://www.pw.org/content/from_poets_writers_inc_37) .

Part of our mission is to help make literature available to widest possible public. The Rural Libraries Tour directly addresses this need in rural communities. We are grateful to the California Center for the Book and its supporting agencies for making this partnership possible.

Sincerely,

~ /v
