Hello Everyone! 

I am reaching out on behalf of the NJ Statewide Summer Reading Committee. 

For those of you who may not know, the Summer Reading Committee helps to curate and present ideas for summer reading programs based on the CSLP theme. We hope to make your summer reading planning easier by offering ideas that you can adapt to best fit the needs of your library.

I know that we are all just wrapping our programs for the summer of 2025, but the committee is already looking towards 2026. We are looking for new members who would be interested in helping 2026 summer reading be successful! The 2026 summer reading theme is dinosaurs, paleontology and archeology with the slogan "Unearth A Story!".  If you're as excited for this theme as we are, or just are looking for new ways to get involved, please think about joining the committee! 

Our first meeting for the 2026 Summer Reading planning is Friday, September 12 at 10 am via Zoom. If you can't make that meeting time, but are still interested, please fill out the form below. 

If you are interested, you can fill out this form, and the Co-Chairs (either myself or Natalie Peitsinovski) will reach out to you about the upcoming meetings and expectations for the committee. 

If you have any questions, you can reach out to us at ...@gmail.com" style="color: #2199e8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">njla...@gmail.com.
