<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The “Tails & Tales” 2021 CSLP Manual is now live! However, we have only purchased 1 access code per library, so an email went out last Friday, directly to all library directors, with the code (we will not be snail mailing it this
year, only email). If you are the summer library program coordinator at your library, please look for a forwarded message from your director. Once you have the code to access the manual, you will need to create a user account on the CSLP website, if you don’t
already have one. The account can be for individual, or shared among the library staff in your building, as we have only 1 access code per library. Manuals, graphics and more are available for download, printing, or you can continue to access it online through
the library account. Please do not share the manual outside your library. The CSLP 2021 Tails & Tales shop is also now open, until the Library of Michigan re-opens I will not be able to mail out any catalogs, so please browse online:
