Dear Summer Library Program Coordinators,

The 2020 Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) End-of-Summer Survey is in the works! While your summer programming is likely just beginning, it’s important to think about the data you will report on in a few months. (No matter what your programming looks like this summer, or even if you used the #ImagineYourStory theme.)
The 2020 CSLP End-of-Summer Survey will open on Monday, July 27, 2020 and will close on Friday, September 25, 2020. I will share the survey link in a future email. The survey will cover three age groups, Children’s (0-11), Teens (12-18), and Adults (19+) [age categories as defined by the Institute of Museum and Library Services].

Questions will include:

How your library tracks participation in your summer library program.
Total number in each of the three age groups who participated in your summer library program.
Total number in each age group who completed the minimum goal.
Total number of summer library program themed events (includes virtual) for each age group.
Total number of individuals attending (includes virtual) summer library program themed events for each age group.
Ways your library adapted programming in response to the global health crisis.
Your suggestions, ideas and feedback for summer library program themes for 2022 and beyond.

The CSLP survey questions are attached as a PDF (disregard the New Jersey specific Q’s) for your reference.

CSLP works with libraries to create an inclusive literacy based program that is enjoyable for all ages, provide a reproducible program with a unified theme, share resources and offer professional support. Your response to this survey ensures that we continue to receive a valuable product from CSLP. In addition, survey responses help state library staff support your library’s needs. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Thank you,

Cathy Lancaster
