Gray Building Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-0250 2 December 1996 Dear Youth Librarian, The Florida Department of State is pleased that once again the State Library of Florida is able to bring the children of Florida the Florida Library Youth Program. This long-running program remains vigorous and progressive through your efforts and support. 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. If I can help call attention to your local program by visiting your library and participating in your FLYP programs in an effort to inform your community how these services enhance family literacy, please contact Carole Fiore, Youth Services Consultant at the State Library of Florida. She will work withmy staff to coordinate as many visits to libraries during the spring and summer of 1997 as can be arranged. Without your dedication, this program, funded by the Library Services and Construction 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
