LAL is a national reading promotion program of the Center for the Book  

 When your letters arrive, we first sort them by state.

Opening just tens of thousands of pieces of mail can be very, very tiresome! But your envelope art made us (and the post office clerks,too!) smile. More than that, however, your artwork speaks volumes about how you view literature and your relationships with authors!

We'll upload more artwork as we get time to photograph the envelopes, in between reading your letters.

Here's a sampling (so far) of this year's envelopes. ENJOY!
