I am Caitlin Stanley the Program and Grants Manager for the North Carolina Humanities Council. The Council recently became the home of the NC Center for the Book (you can see the press release here: https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-18-097/north-carolina-humanities-council-now-operating-north-carolina-center-for-the-book-part-of-librarys-national-network-for-reading-literacy/2018-08-02/) I wanted to clarify that NC Center for the Book does participate in LAL, as well as running several other programs. I'm excited to learn more from the other state centers. I am excited to meet you all soon in DC!

Those are -- according to the memo we received a couple of weeks ago -- ID, KY, NC, OR, KS, DE, SD, PR and -- we learned last week -- CO. (Josephine from CO won't be at NBF, though. Someone else from her staff is coming instead.) BTW -- I was surprised to see NC on the list because I recall Frannie Ashburn (director pre-Molly Westmoreland) was a huge promoter of the program., and I think I thought Molly was, as well.

I know CA can’t be the only one!
