Hi, Everyone,

Just some updates regarding the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) in public libraries:

·         The Public Services Announcements (PSAs) are up from the Collaborative Summer Library Program for 2018’s “Libraries Rock” which include Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, Spanish language and more!  Watch, share and “like” the videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/cslpreads.  

When sharing on social media, please use #CSLPreads #LibrariesRock

There are downloadable PSA versions for you to share with local media and the Audio/Radio WAV files of the “Summer Time” song for program use available on the member side of www.cslpreads.org under Proprietary Downloads.  

·         Seventeen states, including NJ, participated in the 2018 Teen Video Challenge (TVC). Here is the link to view all the winners from each participating state: https://www.cslpreads.org/2018-teen-video-challenge/

·         March’s edition is the latest CSLP newsletter available. It can be found on the CSLP website here: https://www.cslpreads.org/cslp-newsletter-march-2018/

I will continue to send the newsletter out via the listserv, but not everyone is on this listserv. CSLP has set up a MailChimp account so you can subscribe to the newsletter yourself, or let your colleagues know that they can directly subscribe by going through

the CSLP homepage, or by using this direct link: http://eepurl.com/cYq7o1.

·         The CSLP Annual Meeting was held last week in Denver, CO from April 9 – 12, 2018.

Here are a few highlights from the Annual Meeting (Look for more highlights in the upcoming April CSLP newsletter!)

·         Upcoming years’ Slogans (for all ages) voted for by state representatives or their proxies:

2020 Slogan is “Imagine Your Story” (Theme: Fairy Tales/Mythology/ Fantasy)

2021 Slogan is “Tails and Tales” (Theme: Animals)

2022 Slogan is “All Together Now” (Theme: Change the World)

(In case you’ve forgotten, 2019’s theme is Space and the slogan for all ages is “A Universe of Stories”)
