<p class="MsoNormal">CSLP, the <a href="http://www.cslpreads.org/">Collaborative Summer Library Program</a>, held their Annual Meeting last week in Salt Lake City, UT. For those who do not know the CSLP is a consortium of states, founded in 1987, that work
together to “provide a unified summer reading theme along with professional art and evidence-based materials so that member libraries can provide high-quality summer reading programs at the lowest possible cost and to play a significant role in literacy initiatives.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s a 3-day meeting where a lot of discussion, brainstorming and planning is done for summer reading clubs across the country. The manuals (now on CD) your library receives every year for planning summer reading are worked on years ahead
of time! In fact, “Build a Better World” manuals are in their final stages for the summer of 2017. Some of the big decisions made last week are the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Summer Reading 2017: the slogan is “Build A Better World”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Overall, the Annual Meeting Attendees loved the art work and found it to be diverse and interchangeable, depending if your location is going more towards the “building/construction” theme or perhaps a broader, more “improving the community”
oriented theme. <o:p></o:p></p>
