CSLP 2027 Slogan Feedback Survey & Listening Sessions

The Collaborative Summer Library Program is currently collecting feedback on the top six summer 2027 slogan options (theme: Mystery/Detective/Suspense). Results will be compiled and shared with your state rep (find your state rep here) and the CSLP Theme & Slogan Committee. Your State Rep will use your feedback to decide how to vote in Fall 2024 at the CSLP annual meeting. You can find a full list of CSLP themes and slogans here. Now is your chance as a CSLP member library to make sure your voice is heard. Fill out the survey below and tell us what you think the 2027 slogan should be. Make sure that you consider your community's needs when giving your feedback! This survey will be open through Friday, August 23rd. Please submit all of your ideas by then so we can pass them to your state rep for review.
