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>
<br>
