Call for Summer Reading Survey Responses

The Collaborative Summer Library Program’s (CSLP) annual survey is now open and will close Friday, September 13, 2024.

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/ByVXqjCaH2BgrrGeA.
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/1dUE0SiO3G6QhBx_8ZHjfXZHABF9MsShT/view?usp=sharing.
