About the Center
The California Center for the Book is a reading promotion agency that celebrates California's rich literary heritage and promotes reading, libraries, literacy, and authorship.
The California Center for the Book is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization affiliated with the California State Library and The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress was created by an Act of Congress (Public Law 95-129) in 1977, and was established to stimulate public interest in books, reading, and libraries, and to encourage the study of books and print culture. All programs of the California Center for the Book fit within a rubric established by The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and fall under the jurisdiction of the State Librarian.
The California Center for the Book has been housed at UCLA since January 2000. Reflecting the diversity of the community of the book in California, the Center has a decentralized structure with a coordinating office in UCLA's Department of Information Studies, and satellite centers throughout the state.
