CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov [cid:image001.jpg@01DC20B3.9F598070] The Collaborative Summer Library Program’s (CSLP) annual survey is now open and will close Friday, September 12, 2025. CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! All public libraries in Michigan are CSLP members thanks to the Library of Michigan with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/9ohxTu3YyMcAgB7v6 If you would like to view the survey in PDF form before completing it, you can find that here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ata27kFA_Npyy-kKaSNX8KMQx9wmLb35/view?usp=s.... FAQs Who should complete this survey? The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2025 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work, e.g. children, teen, or adult programs. * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system. * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.) * EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "COLOR OUR WORLD" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey! Is this survey required? No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program. I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide? * General feedback on using (or not) the 2025 program theme and materials; * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults. You may skip some questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey. When does the survey close? The survey is open from now until Friday, September 12, 2025. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for sharing your input!
