Gray Building Tallshassee, Florida 32399-0250 December 1998 Dear Youth Librarian: We are extremely pleased that the State Library of Florida is once again able to bring the children of Florida and their families the Florida Library Youth Program (FLYP). This long-running program remains vigorous and progressive through your efforts and support. As you are aware, the State Library of Florida has completed the transition from the Library Services and Construction Act, which has funded this program for many years, to having FLYP funded by the Library Services and Technology Act, the new federal legislation that provides some support for statewide and local library programs. With this change in funding, there comes a change in philosophy and focus in many of our statewide programs, including FLYP. To comply with the intent of this federal program that funds our successful Florida Library Youth Program, we have made significant changes in program to focus on children in poverty and people having difficulty using libraries. While we realize that this new philosophy may place an added burden on staff in providing programs and services in outreach locations, we all know that this action is necessary to build a new generation of readers and library users. I am aware of the important role you play in developing a love of reading and books in the young people of our state. We can accomplish this goal, along with our more urgent goal of promoting literacy by your continued involvement in the Florida Library Youth Program. Without your dedication, this program, funded by the Library Services and Technology Act, would not be the success it is. As we continue our second quarter century of service through this program, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your fine efforts to provide a varied, quality program of library service to the youth of the Sunshine State and to encourage you and your staff to participate fully in this year's program. merely, arratt Wilkins State Librarian BW/cf SCHEDULE OF WORKSHOPS 1999 FLORIDA LIBRARY YOUTH PROGRAM READERS ON THE PROWL WORKSHOP WORKSHOP LOCATION DATE ADDRESS Monday North Regional/Broward Community College Library February 8 1100 Coconut Creek Boulevard Building 62 Coconut Creek Wednesday Lee County Library System February 10 South County Regional Library 21100 Three Oaks Parkway Estero Friday Pasco County Library System February 12 Hudson Regional Library 8012 Library Road Hudson Wednesday W.
