Reminder on CSLP Artwork/Merchandise for COLOR OUR WORLD™
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 14 Apr '25

In a time of so much uncertainty please remember the only official CSLP themed summer reading merchandise comes from the Collaborative Summer Library Program store. COLOR OUR WORLD™ is a CSLP trademark which may only be used with prior written permission. The merchandise with the official slogan and artwork are essential in advancing CSLP's mission, enabling CSLP to produce and sell products that contribute to the financial stability of our non-profit. All proceeds from the items purchased at https://shop.cslpreads.org/ are reinvested into CSLP to fund future programs and resources. If you see merchandise that uses the CSLP’s 2025 slogan or artwork from vendors other than CSLP, please let CSLP know at custserv(a)cslpreads.org<mailto:custserv@cslpreads.org>. CSLP typically issues a cease-and-desist notice to the company, but the trademark infringements continue to resurface under new business names. Click here<https://www.cslpreads.org/rules-of-use/> to learn more about CSLP’s Intellectual Property Rules. CSLP does have a terrific partnership with Brag Tags and if you order through the link at shop.cslpreads.org<https://shop.cslpreads.org/>, CSLP receives a portion of the sales price.

WebJunction content and upcoming webinars Highlighted Content Bite into a good book with an edible book event<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/edible-book-events.html> Go to the library and eat a book! That’s the idea behind edible book events, which blend creativity, community, and culinary fun. The Edible Book Festival is an international event where people use food to create representations of books, either a specific title or a generic ‘book.’ Hosting an Edible Book event is a fun, creative way to blend creativity, community, and a shared love for stories. Whether you’re crafting clever interpretations of literary classics or just looking for an excuse to gather with fellow book lovers, this event offers something for everyone. Best of all, it can be adapted to suit your library’s space, budget, and audience. So, why not bring this tasty tradition to your library? AI poll results: What we learned<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/ai-poll-results.html> As part of our ongoing work on AI, we launched a poll in February’s Crossroads newsletter asking how AI is showing up in your library work. These poll results will inform our upcoming AI content and programming. Let’s dig into what you shared! WebJunction Webinars This upcoming webinar is open for registration. If you can’t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog<https://learn.webjunction.org/>. AI and public libraries: Panel and discussion Thursday, May 1, 2025 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/ai-panel-and-discussion.html The adoption and advancement of AI technologies has been swift, extensive, and...overwhelming. After assessing community interests and needs around AI in a recent poll (summarized here<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/ai-poll-results.html>), WebJunction is bringing together a group of library leaders and technologists with AI expertise to discuss some of the main themes identified in the poll results, and their professional perspectives on the questions and opportunities that AI presents. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of AI and its applications in public libraries, and strategies for addressing AI with the public.  This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
