DearYouthLibrarian:
We are extremelypleasedthatthe StateLibraryofFloridaisonce again abletobringthe
childrenofFloridaandtheirfamilies theFloridaLibraryYouthProgram (FLYP). This long-running
programremains vigorous andprogressivethroughyour efforts andsupport.
As youare aware, the StateLibraryofFloridahas completedthe transitionfromthe Library
Services and ConstructionAct, whichhas fundedthisprogramformanyyears, to havingFLYP funded
bytheLibrary Services andTechnologyAct, thenew federallegislationthatprovides some supportfor
statewide and local libraryprograms. Withthis changeinfunding, there comes achange inphilosophy
and focus inmanyofourstatewideprograms, includingFLYP. To comply withtheintentofthis
federal programthatfunds oursuccessful FloridaLibraryYouthProgram, wehave made significant
changes inprogramto focus onchildreninpovertyandpeoplehaving difficultyusing libraries. While
we realizethatthis newphilosophymayplace an addedburdenonstaffinprovidingprograms and
services inoutreach locations, weall knowthatthis actionis necessarytobuild anewgeneration of
readers and libraryusers.
Iam awareofthe importantroleyouplay in developing aloveofreading andbooks inthe
youngpeopleofourstate. We can accomplishthis goal, alongwithourmore urgentgoalofpromoting
literacybyyourcontinuedinvolvementintheFloridaLibraryYouthProgram. Withoutyour
dedication, thisprogram, fundedbytheLibraryServices andTechnologyAct, wouldnotbethe
success itis.
As we continueour second quartercenturyofservicethroughthis program, I wouldliketo
takethis opportunityto thankyouforyourfineefforts toprovide avaried, qualityprogramoflibrary
service totheyouthofthe Sunshine State andto encourageyouandyourstafftoparticipate fullyinthis
year's program.
Sincerely,
JarrattWilkins
State Librarian
