Reading is fundamental to learning. The close collaboration between the classroom teacher and school librarian creates an environment beneficial to learning. It is with great pleasure I inform you every Read to Succeed license plate sold as of September 1, 1999, contributes $25 directly to public school libraries. The proceeds generated from the sale of this specialty license plate will be distributed to schools for the purchase of educational library materials.

Enclosed is promotional material you can display in your library to support the Read to Succeed program. The brochures enclosed contain information about the program as well as an application to purchase the specialty plate. Each applicant is requested to identify a school campus to receive the $25 generated from the sale. Be sure to have everyone complete the sections of the application that request the school district and campus name. Completing this section of the application ensures that funds will be distributed to the appropriate campuses.

If you have any questions or comments about this program, please contact the Office of Statewide Initiatives at (800) 819-5713. Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,
Christine Joosten
