<h1>Summer Library Programming<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.cslpreads.org/">The “Tails & Tales” 2021 Collaborative Summer Library Program manual is live</a>! However, LM purchased 1 access code per library, so an email went on Friday, Sept 25th, 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 a public library, please look for a forwarded message from your director
<i>or</i> <u>email me directly with an official work email</u>. 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. 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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
CSLP’s Organizational Coordinator Luke Kralik has made 3 short video tutorials on how to easily access the
<b>2021 online manual</b> and <b>art files</b> for #TailsandTales. Please follow this link to learn how:
