[Libs-Or] Summer Reading Highlights from CSLP Annual Meeting

[CSD CSLP Rep]

Hello Colleagues,



Recently, I attended the Annual Meeting of the Collaborative Summer Library
Program (CSLP) on behalf of the OLA Children’s Services Division (CSD),
along with K’Lyn Hann, who represented OYAN (Oregon Young Adult Network).
This meeting is where representatives from CSLP member states and
territories gather to determine summer reading themes and slogans, plus
give feedback about CSLP programs, products, and services.



*Here are some highlights from this year’s annual meeting:*

-        CSLP’s Executive Director, Sherry Siclair, is approaching her
1-year anniversary in this new role with the organization. She is
especially focused on developing strategic partnerships and raising
awareness of CSLP in the education community at the national level.

-        The CSLP Board is exploring manual formats that will reduce
production costs and paper usage, while still providing materials for
members in a format that works well for us.

-        There was a lot of great discussion this year about diversity and
inclusiveness! CSLP and our reps are very concerned about and committed to
developing programs and products that are as inclusive as possible. In fact…

-        There are many committees who do important work on inclusion,
summer reading manuals, products, and more. Anyone from a member state or
territory can help out on these committees, even if they are not the state
reps from CSD or OYAN. Interested in getting involved? Contact a state rep,
and we will direct you to the right person!

-        Coming in 2017, there will be an early literacy summer reading
manual in Spanish, including books, rhymes, and songs in Spanish, as well
as outreach tips for connecting with Spanish-speaking families.

-        If libraries are translating the CSLP reading logs into other
languages, we can share the files of the translated logs with others
through the CSLP website. Please contact a CSLP Rep (listed below) to share
materials.

-        There are wonderful resources available to us on the CSLP website
<http://www.cslpreads.org/>, including a white paper about summer reading

2017 Slogan: Build a Better World (same slogan for all ages)

-        2018 Theme: Music

surveys to solicit your ideas before CSLP meets again!

questions!
