Some great programming ideas were brainstormed and resources shared today at the MiYouth call for summer library program planning. All links, ideas, and the chatbox are available in our shared notes document, if you were unable to attend.

Of note, the Collaborative Summer Library Program has opened a cohort that they are calling “Building Community-Based Summers,” based on the Building Equity Based Summers format that MI is doing this spring (Michigan’s cohort is full). Feel free to check it out and apply!

Our next MiYouth call will be on Tuesday, April 8th at 2pm ET, so mark your calendars now to join us.
