by Reish, Karren (MDE) 09 Feb '16

The Collaborative Summer Library program is looking for suggestions for artists to design the 2018 artwork. The theme for 2018 is Music. If you have an idea you want to share, the survey link is below. Thank you! Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk(a)michigan.gov<mailto:reishk@michigan.gov> Subject: CSLP 2018 Artist Suggestions needed It’s that time of year again! CSLP is looking for suggestions of illustrators to provide our 2018 artwork for the theme of music. Please forward the below survey on to your librarians and ask them to submit suggestions. We would love to hear from all of our members! Is there an illustrator that depicted the theme of music in a book that you think would make a fantastic choice? Please consider that CSLP does have a budget when working with an illustrator to provide our summer reading artwork. That said, please keep in mind that while it would be fantastic to work with someone like Mo Willems, our budget simply does not make him a realistic suggestion. The survey link can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018ArtistSuggestions Please submit suggestions by Friday, Feburary 19th. Thank you for your time!
