National Affiliation Renewed For Center For The Book At Boise State

The Library of Congress Center for the Book in Washington, D.C., has renewed its affiliation with the Idaho Center for the Book for another three years. The Idaho Center for the Book, located on the Boise State University campus, offers internships in book, video and newsletter production and display. The Center also coordinates with and supports the efforts of a variety of state and national organizations who share its interests and goals. In a letter informing Center director Tom Trusky of the renewal, national Center for the Book director John Y. Cole noted the success of the Idaho Center’s annual “Booker’s Dozen” exhibit of eccentric and artists’ books and the recently developed “Idaho Authors!” card game, featuring 11 writers who were born or maintained residences in Idaho. “It’s great that these ideas are inspiring projects in other state centers,” Cole said.
