ICYMI - I am thrilled to give you a sneak peek of the 2025 Color Our World posters & slogans. You’ll note that there are 3 options: a Children’s poster, a Multigenerational poster, and a Slogan only poster. This artwork has not been released for public use yet, so please do not share or use it publicly. Manual Codes will be sent to Directors in October with access to all the art and the CSLP store front.

All public libraries in Michigan are members of the Collaborative thanks in part to the Library of Michigan with support by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Thank you,
