<h1>Summer Library Programming<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Library of Michigan purchased public libraries in Michigan online access to the
<b>2021 Collaborative Summer Library “Tails and Tales” Programming Manual</b>. This manual contains all the programming resources, graphics, and book lists for the upcoming summer. As we only purchase 1 access code to the manual per library, please contact
Cathy Lancaster at <a href="mailto:LancasterC5@Michigan.gov?subject=CSLP%20Manual%20Code">
LancasterC5@Michigan.gov</a> from an official work email if your director did not receive your code for 2021 (sent last September). CSLP’s Organizational Coordinator Luke Kralik has made 3 short video tutorials on how to easily access the 2021 online manual
