<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! All public libraries in Michigan are CSLP members thanks to
the Library of Michigan with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. </span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The survey can be found here:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><u>

FAQs</h1>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><b><i>Who should complete this survey?</i></b></span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2025 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library
could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work, e.g. children, teen, or adult programs.</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system.</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.)</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> * <u>EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "COLOR OUR WORLD" AS YOUR THEME</u>, we invite you to complete the survey!</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><b><i>Is this survey required?</i></b></span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program.</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><b><i>I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide?</i></b></span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> * General feedback on using (or not) the 2025 program theme and materials;</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults.</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">You may skip some questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey.</span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><b><i>When does the survey close?</i></b></span></p>
<p class="WordSection1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The survey is open from now until <b>Friday, September 12, 2025</b>. </span></p>
