Expanding on a brief list of organizations in the 1984 Library of Congress report, Books in Our Future, it focuses on national programs of special interest to the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. The emphasis is on organizations in the United States, where recently there has been renewed interest in educational reform, in literacy, and in the future of the book. A7.phabetically arranged, the entries provide addresses, telephone numbers, and contact pt.sons for the organizations; general descriptions of their purposes; examples of their activities; the names of their publications; and a description of how they are funded. This information is based largely on materials that were provided by the organizations and programs themselves. Shared areas of interest include reading skills (the problem of illiteracy) and reading motivation (the problem of aliteracy); the state of the book industry; books and technology; the potential complementarity of 1.7Joks and the media; censorship; the history of books; and the international role of the book. Publishers, booksellers, librarians, book researchers, scholars, teachers, and writers are among those represented in this directory by a selective listing of their professional associations. An introduction by John Y. Cole entitled "Is There a Community of the Book?" opens the directory.

Expanding on the brief list of organizations in the 1984 Library of Congress report, Books in Our Future, it focuses on national programs of special interest to the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. We hope, however, that it will also be useful to the entire book community. The emphasis is on organizations in the United States, where recently there has been renewed interest in educa- tional reform, in literacy, and in the "future of the book" International book programs, while included, have been described in greater detail in two other publications available from the Center for the Book: US. International Book Programs 1981 (1982) and US. Books Abroad: Neglected Ambassadors, by Curtis G. Benjamin (1984). The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress is a national catalyst for stimulating public interest in books and reading and for encouraging lie study of books and the printed word. Its symposia and project, inducting this publication, are made possible by private contributions from individuals and corporations. Special thanks for this project go to compiler Curen Kaston, to Linda Cox, who prepared the manuscript for publication, and to Joseph Brinley, who provided valuable editorial help and prepared the index. John Y. Cole Executive Director The Center for the Book Noveinber 1985 Is Therea Community of the Book? An Introduction John Y. Cole Is there a "community of the book?" The Ck. iter for the Book in the Library of Congress was established in 1977 on the assumption that such a commun- ity exists and that it can be mobilized to keep books and reading central in our lives and in the life of our democracy. A partnership between the Library of Congress and private citizens and organiz-tions, the Center for the Book is a national catalyst for stimulating public interest in books and reading and for encouraging the study of books and the printed word. The most important person 4_i this partnership or community is the individ- ual reader. Librarian of Congress Daniell Boorstin, the center's founder, made this clear when the center was created, saying, "As the national library of a great free republic, the Library of Congress has a special duty and a spe- cial interest to see that books do not go unread...here we shape plans for a grand national effort to make all our people eager, avid, understandi-ig, crit- ical readers."' In A Nation of Headers, a talk he presented in 1982, Boorstin asserted that our country was built on books and reading and that, at least in the past, America has been a nation of readers.2 We can be so again, he maintains, if our citizens and institutions make a new commitment to keep- ing "the Culture of the Book" thriving? In this effort, which is the basic mis- sion of the Center for the Book, technology is an ally: 'We have a special duty a) see that the book is the useful, illuminating servant of all other tech- nologies, and that all other technologies become the effective, illuminating acolytes of the book."' Publisher Samuel S. Vaughan, in his essay "The Community of the Book" in the Writer 1983 issue of Daedalus, defines the book community as one that "consists of those for whom the written word, especially as expressed in printed and bound volumes, is of the first importance." Its major inhabitants are authors, editors, publishers, booksellers, librarians, wholesalers, literary agents and literary critics book reviewers and book journalists, translators, educators, and "not least, though often omitted from full partnership readers." In iconoclastic fashion, Vaughan challenges many common asser- tions about books and publishing. By the time he is finished, he also chal- lenges his own basic assumption: It is convenient to think of ourselves as the Community of the Book. But perhaps we are destined to remain a series of separate states, warring fac- tions, shouting imprecations at each other across borders....I hope not. For we are bound up in common concerns and causes; we do need each other, and for the usual reasonsbecause we are mutually dependent? 5 tr The search for a "book community" in the United States is not new. The story before the founding of the Center for the Book is a mixture of solid accomplishments and periods of frustration, which reflect both the tenuous nature of alliances among book-minded people and traditional American uncertainty about the proper role of government in culture, education, and the world of books. In 1950 a small group of leading American publishers, including Cass Can- field of Harper & Row, Curtis McGraw from McGraw-Hill, Harold Guinzburg of Viking Press, and Douglas Black of Doubleday and Company, established the American Book Publishers Council (ABPC), a trade association that would extend itsc:f beyond usual business concerns in order to promote books, reading, and libraries. The first discussions between ABPC repres !m- auves and librarians took place at the 1950 annual conference of the Amzri- can Library Association (ALA). Postal rates, book distribution, copyright, and reading promotion were early agenda items? The anthology The Wonderful World of Books (1952) was a result of the 1951 Conference on Rural Reading, sponsored by the ABPC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the ALA, and other organizations. Theodore Waller, the first managing director (1950-53) of the ABPC, and Dan Lacy, who succeeded Waller and guided the ABPCs affairs until he joined McGraw-Hill in 1966, were the key figures in forging these early book world alliances. Censorship became a topic of mutual concern to publishers and librarians in the early 1950s, when private groups and public officials in various parts of the country made attempts to remove books from sale, to censor textbooks. to distribute lists of "objectionable" books or authors, and to purge libraries. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, for example, demanded that the overseas information libraries of the State Department be purged

The purpose of the conference was to discuss the place of reading as a basic communication skill in an increasingly technological society. The papers chosen for this volume discuss (1) the relevance of reading in the face of social and technological revolution,(2) some specific means of meeting the reading needs of society through two kinds of reading programs--paraprofessional instructors (Women's Talent Corps) and industrial reading improvement programs (General Motors), and (3)some possible directions which reading might be expected to take with increasing societal change. Reactions to several of the papers by those attending the conference are included immediately following the papers, and the volume ends with some concluding remarks which summarize the conference.

This report is the culmination of the evaluation, which included site visits ano field hearings. The largely undocumented knowledge base of Native American experience must be recorded and preserved if it is not to be lost. Ten major challenges were identified on topics such as funding support, training and technical assistance, tribal library holdings, cooperative activities, state and local partnerships, federal policy, model programs, museum and archival services, adult and family literacy programs, and newer information technology. The report contains detailed descriptions of Commission activities and incorporates a "Summary Report" (also published separately), as well as the "Long Range Action Plan" containing strategies for high quality information services to Native American peoples.

Littletree ii University of Washington Abstract “Let Me Tell You About Indian Libraries”: Self-Determination, Leadership, and Vision— The Basis of Tribal Library Development in the United States Sandra D. Littletree Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Cheryl A. Metoyer Information School Tribal libraries in the United States have become sites of cultural and language renewal, gathering places, and places to collect, preserve, and share Indigenous knowledge. After more than forty years of development, tribal libraries have become important sites of decolonization, where sovereignty and self-determination are paramount. These libraries are relatively recent tools that Native (and non-Native) people have begun to employ to collect, preserve, and transmit Indigenous knowledge for current and future generations. Despite the important role these institutions play in many Native communities, their presence is relatively unknown in the scholarly literature. This research traces the history and development of tribal libraries using qualitative research methodologies informed by Indigenous approaches to knowledge. Interviews with early designers as well as with current tribal library designers were conducted to tell the story of tribal library development. Analysis of archival documents provided additional iii information on the development of tribal libraries. This research addresses the question, What was the basis for the development of tribal libraries? The result of this examination reveals that the basis for tribal library development included the following: 1.
