The Children's Literature Center serves those organizations
and individuals who study, produce, collect, interpret, and disseminate
children's books, films, television programs, or other forms of materials
destined for children's information and recreational use, usually outside
the classroom. The Center does not serve children directly. They benefit
indirectly, however, from assistance given to teachers, librarians, parents,
and others who work with youth. The Center's users, ranging from the general
public to members of Congress, include authors and illustrators, film makers,
journalists, and researchers from the world over. The Center's general
expenses are supported by appropriated funds. In addition, special projects
and activities including programs, consultants, and special publications
are supported by the Children's Literature Center Fund, created in 1985.
Funds are solicited from individuals, corporations, and foundations. |
