of Support
On
our road to creating a more literate world, we have been joined
by the following partners:
The
California State Library
Since 1984 the California State Library has funded adult literacy
programs in public libraries throughout the State. Through its guidance
and support, thousands of California adults have learned to read
and write. The SIBL Project was supported in part by the U.S. Institute
of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library
Services and Technology Act, administered in California by State
Librarian Dr. Kevin Starr. www.library.ca.gov
BAlit
- Bay Area Literacy BAlit
Bay Area Literacy is a consortium of 25 library-based adult literacy
programs in the San Francisco Bay region, from Lake County in the
north to Santa Clara County in the south. Together, BAlit member
programs promote public awareness of literacy issues and collaborate
on joint ventures to strengthen available literacy services. BAlit
has worked with the SIBL Project since its inception. www.literacynet.org/balit/
Center
for the Book in the Library of Congress
"Telling America's Stories," the Library of Congress's national
reading promotion campaign for 2001-2003 is proud to link itself
with The SIBL Project. With First Lady Laura Bush as honorary chair
of the campaign, the campaign raises public awareness of the crucial
importance of literacy and reading to our society.
