Abstract	There is strong evidence to indicate that the year has contributed greatly to raising the level of book awareness in the United States. Although U.S. participants had the option of choosing either domestic or international themes for programs, the majority chose to concentrate on the international dimensions of the year - projects to enrich library collections with foreign materials, seminars to examine cultures of other countries, activities to strengthen contacts with professional counterparts around the world, and an exciting variety of other efforts. Included in this report is a "Selective Checklist and Final Status of IBY Projects." This addendum attests to the amount of energy and creativity poured into IBY observances. Additionally, it underlines the scope and variety of the projects. This "checklist" is not meant to be definitive, but rather a reflection of the scope of those projects which were reported to the Secretariat in some detail. The U.S. IBY efforts, combined with world-wide response to the year, are having important consequences for all members of the book community and the general public. The success of IBY is compelling proof of what happens when all members of the book community work together to accomplish common objectives. (Author/NH)
