That's right, you read 2030 (and 2029)! Have you ever thought about where summer library slogan and theme come from? Who thinks them up? How we select each year’s slogan? Well, the answer is YOU! Each year the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) seeks feedback from Michigan library staff for future summer slogan and theme suggestions. Libraries from across the nation also contribute, and together, we come to consensus. Now is your time to to be heard! Please complete this brief survey to suggest a slogan for the 2029 theme of Nature and an all new theme for 2030.

Some tips for developing slogans and themes:

Adaptable for all ages
Translatable into Spanish
Culturally sensitive and thoughtful
Avoid puns and wordplay
Catchy, memorable, concise
Inclusive, accessible, applicable across settings

Please share your suggestions by Monday, February 2, 2026.
