Center for the Book, Library of Congress. Using the resources of the Library of Congress, its mission is to stimulate interest in books and reading, including literacy and library promotion and encouraging the historical study of books, reading, and the printed word.
SHARP works in concert with a number of scholarly organizations around the world to encourage the study of book history, broadening our resources and allowing us to share information. As part of this scholarly outreach, many SHARP members serve as liaisons to scholarly organizations. Their role is to facilitate communications between the organizations in a variety of ways. A list of current liaisons is available online.
