The Wisconsin Center for the Book was created to celebrate the culture of the book and is affiliated with the Library of Congress Center for the Book and the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters.

The Wisconsin Center for the Book celebrates books and the book arts, encourages the joy of reading and writing, and honors Wisconsin's literary heritage. The Center honors all aspects of the literary world and provides a link between our citizens and writers, illustrators, publishers, librarians, and educators.
