    Dear Everyone who ever sees a teen in the library or in their
    community in the summer:<br>
    <br>
    Please pardon cross-posting.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    "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".<br>
    <br>
    I know we'll make it a great manual. I can't wait to see all the
    ideas that emerge in the final edition!<br>
