Attached is the list of themes</a> that are ready for voting and slogans that have been grouped together for wordsmithing. Wordsmithing the 2025 slogan will be the focus of our May listening sessions. We invite you to join us for the wordsmithing sessions
that will be held in May. We have 2 date/times to choose from. This is a chance for libraries to have their voices heard in creating the final slogan list that will be voted on in August at the Annual CSLP Meeting! We encourage everyone to join and speak
as they feel comfortable. During and after the sessions we will have resources available for you to share your input on a provided google document. <o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span>Your library is invited to participate in the Summer 2022 MiLibraryQuest for teens. It is SUPER easy for a library to participate and we had 110 teens from across the state submit entries last summer. Following library closures in spring 2020
and a shift to virtual programming, a group of librarians from throughout the state began meeting to collaborate on virtual teen programming. We created MiLibraryQuest, a virtual scavenger hunt, for all teens throughout the state as a summer event. We have
now offered four Quests with hundreds of teens participating. Our next Quest will be held this summer from June 15 through July 31.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Sunday, May 1 is the deadline for libraries to sign up to participate</b>: <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FMiLibraryQuest2022SignUp&data=05%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7Cc3bb6e8b8bd74f238dff08da23c9bd5d%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637861647216718596%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KuwpS5z8ODaF9hZ9Fwc7k31TNc0sdBn7Vb5GgwyI0Xk%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/MiLibraryQuest2022SignUp</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The theme of MiLibraryQuest Summer 2022 is “Treasures of the Deep.” This Quest will challenge teen explorers to complete a crossword puzzle by finding clues on the websites of Michigan libraries. Answers to the puzzle will include famous
pirates, real shipwrecks, and mythological monsters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teens will collect clues from the websites of participating libraries, solve the crossword puzzle, and enter to win a prize from their library. <o:p></o:p></p>
