Public Meeting for California State Library’s California Civil Liberties Public Education Program set for May 25th
SACRAMENTO - State Librarian of California Susan Hildreth, and the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program (CCLPEP) advisory committee, will meet on May 25, 2007 to review applications for (FY) 2006-07 CCLPEP grants.
CCLPEP, the result of 1999’s California Civil Liberties Public Education Act sponsored by Assembly member Mike Honda, provides competitive grants for public educational activities and educational materials stemming from the Japanese Internment experience of World War II.
CCLPEP has $500,000 to allocate in grant funds this year. The program received 73 applications, with a total amount of $2,414,618 requested. An independent panel read the applications and provided initial scores and comments. The advisory committee will factor this information into their discussion and decision-making process.
The CCLPEP meeting, which is open to the public will convene at 10:00 am, in Room 500 of the Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building I, at 914 Capitol Mall in Sacramento. There will be time available for the public to provide input.
