The San Francisco Center for the Book (SFCB) is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by Mary Austin and Kathleen Burch in San Francisco, California in the United States.〔Karen Zuercher, ("X and Why: The San Francisco Center for the Book at 10" ), ''SF Weekly'', August 30, 2006.〕 The first center of its kind on the West Coast, SFCB was modeled after two similar organizations, The Center for Book Arts in New York City and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts in Minneapolis. In their mission statement, SFCB is declared as "a place where you can learn about the many arts and crafts of the book. Through workshops, exhibitions and public events, SFCB promotes both knowledge of traditional book arts and exploration of experimental book forms." Currently, SFCB offers over 300 workshops and 30 free events a year. In addition to workshops and events, they have a thriving artist-in-residence program, produce numerous Imprint Publications books every year, and collaborate with many local nonprofits, museums, and libraries. They also host special visits and hands-on demonstrations for students of all ages, teachers, librarians, corporate team building, collectors, visiting printers, artists, writers, and designers.〔San Francisco Center for the Book. Web. 25 July 2011. .〕 ==History== The San Francisco Center for the Book was co-founded by Mary Austin and Kathleen Burch,〔http://www.sfgate.com/homeandgarden/article/S-F-Center-for-the-Book-brings-letterpress-alive-2997488.php "SF Center for the Book Brings Letterpress Alive", "SF Gate", February 5, 2012〕 who recognized a growing need in San Francisco and the Bay Area for a facility specifically designed and equipped for the book arts. The first center of its kind on the West Coast, SFCB was incorporated in March 1996 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The grand opening on July 30, 1996, attracted an overflow crowd of more than 400 people. From their first season, with 64 students in a dozen classes, they have grown to more than 300 classes, events, and exhibitions per year. In early 2001, they moved to a space, including a large exhibition gallery overlooking our print studio, a platemaking lab, a separate bindery, and administrative offices.
