[Katie Anderson]

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is excited to announce that the 2016 Summer Reading PSAs are now available for download from the CSLP website<We%20are%20excited%20to%20announce%20that%20the%202016%20PSA%20pieces%20are%20now%20available%20for%20download%20from%20the%20CSLP%20website!%20When%20you%20login%20to%20the%20website%20you%20can%20access%20and%20download%20the%20pieces%20under%20the%20Proprietary%20Downloads%20section%20by%20clicking%20on%20PSA.%20There%20is%20a%20section%20with%20links%20suitable%20for%20use%20by%20librarians%20on%20library%20websites/social%20media%20and%20a%20section%20with%20links%20suitable%20for%20use%20by%20broadcast%20stations.%20Please%20note%20that%20there%20are%20also%20a%20number%20of%20PSA%20pieces%20featuring%20Summer%20Reading%20Champion%20Kate%20DiCamillo%20that%20your%20librarians%20can%20use%20to%20promote%20summer%20reading%20to%20children%20or%20to%20community%20leaders%20-%20an%20exciting%20continuation%20of%20our%20relationship%20with%20Kate%20for%20this%20summer!>!
When you login to the website you can access and download the pieces under the "Proprietary Downloads" section by clicking on "PSAs". There is a section with links suitable for use by library staff on library websites/social media and a section with links suitable for use by broadcast stations. Please note that there are also a number of PSA pieces featuring Summer Reading Champion Kate DiCamillo that libraries can use to promote summer reading to children or to community leaders - an exciting continuation of our relationship with Kate for this summer!
There are a few important points to keep in mind when accessing the PSA files online and they are as follows:


  1.  If you are just looking for quick and easy access to general PSA pieces to share on your library website, share with schools, play on a library television set, and so forth you will most likely want to use the files from the section for librarians in the iPhone/iPad Kate DiCamillo link. These files are the smallest size files and will take the least amount of time to download. Do note also that the first file listed under this link is the largest sized file as it will play all the PSA pieces on a loop - a new addition for this year!


  1.  If you are looking to customize the main PSA pieces with details about your library you can do that and would want to access files from either the section for librarians or the section for broadcasters depending on the type of file/quality you will need. It is best to consult with staff in your library system, state, or community about what your needs might be should you wish to customize or share on broadcast television.


  1.  Files that are of higher quality and resolution are larger in size - and will take some time to download depending on the Internet access at your library. Files that end in .mov or .mpeg are larger sized files and will take longer to download. Files that end in .m4v are smaller files and should download in a reasonable amount of time.


  1.  You may want to make sure that your media player/computer is current on all its updates and recommend the same to your librarians. These files will play in Windows Media Player or Quicktime. Quicktime is available for free online.

If you are just interested in viewing the PSA pieces or sharing on social media - please consider linking or sharing the videos from CSLP's YouTube page! This is a very quick and easy option for those who do not wish to customize or download pieces - but rather just share and view! Those links can be found here:
