[Libs-Or] Call for ideas: 2015 Teen CSLP Manual

[Abbie Anderson]

Dear Everyone who ever sees a teen in the library or in their community 
in the summer:

Please pardon cross-posting.

The time has come to put our outstanding minds together to contribute 
ideas for the 2015 Teen Summer Library Program Manual. The theme: 
Heroes. The slogan for teens: "Unmask!" The deadline: November 15. As 
your OYAN CSLP Liaison, I'll send another reminder as we get closer to 
November.

Library staff around the country and beyond will turn to your ideas as 
they put together their own summer programs for teens. See below for 
types of categories and examples from CSLP headquarters.

At the Spring CSLP meeting, the 2015 Teen Slogan break-out session 
featured a great deal of discussion about anti-heroes and the appeal of 
villains, the idea of having superpowers or a secret identity and what 
that feels like as a teen, and various definitions of heroes--from the 
Marvel/DC end of the spectrum, to heroic characters like Katnis Everdeen 
and Ender Wiggin, to everyday local heroes.

"Runner-up" slogan choices will become chapter headings in the manual, 
including "Power Up...READ!", "Reading Is My Superpower", "Unleash Your 
Powers", "Novel Avengers", "The Hero Within", and "Begin the Quest".

I know we'll make it a great manual. I can't wait to see all the ideas 
that emerge in the final edition!
