Please see the email below for the survey link. Thank you for your time and feedback! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Happy New Year State Representatives and Public Librarians! It is that time of the year when the Collaborative Summer Learning Program begins its search for slogans and general themes for the upcoming years. We are asking for your help and participation in developing the slogans for each of the age groups for the 2018 program year and the general theme for the 2019 program year. Please send us your ideas by completing the survey at this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cslpjan2016 The survey may also be accessed by logging into your CSLP account at www.cslpreads.org. There, you will find it on the main homepage. If you don’t have a CSLP account, it is a free account that allows you access to purchase summer reading products and materials online. Please share this information with other practicing public librarians. We will collect surveys until January 30, 2016, at which time we will begin sifting through the suggestions and getting them ready to present at the annual meeting in April. Thank you for your contributions. They are much appreciated. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk(a)michigan.gov
