<p class="MsoPlainText">Do the teens in your library like to make videos? Encourage them to participate in the Collaborative Summer Library Program 2019 Teen Video Challenge this summer! This year's Teen Video Challenge will be a NATIONAL contest and five
winners will be chosen to receive a $200 cash prize plus $50 worth of summer reading materials for their library. *<b>New</b>* this year, the challenge will run through the summer, so you can hold video making programs in June and July. Videos can be submitted
June 1-August 2, 2019. These 60 second-or-less videos should be their interpretation of the 2019 slogan "A Universe of Stories." For more information, including complete contest rules, visit this page of the CSLP website:

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>THE HEALING LIBRARY</b> is a project that assists families in their healing journey with kits available for check-out at participating libraries. Each kit features picture book(s), art and play therapy activities, conversation starters,
and more to help a family through times of trauma or change. The Healing Library provides free PDF packs to librarians so they can build their own suitcase or backpack of healing tools. (They also offer the full kits for sale.)
