Theme and Slogan Listening Sessions
Have you ever wondered how the summer reading themes and slogans are selected each year? We plan several years in advance, to allow time to contract with quality illustrators. We
are currently working on the 2024 slogan and the 2025 theme. (Want a little CSLP Theme/Slogan history? –
30 Years of CSLP History)
You can campaign for your favorites or help us see possible issues or challenges to the verbiage and translations. We need your input and will use these sessions time to listen as
you share your concerns or as you strive to build support for your favorite proposed 2024 slogans and 2025 themes.
These 2024 slogan suggestions came from state reps and CSLP membership from across the nation and have been vetted by CSLP's attorney for possible IP/copyright conflicts. There are
nine strong candidates remaining after removing those with potential risk or conflict.
Attached is a list of the 2024 slogans with their Espaņol translations and the 2025 theme proposals. Now is the time to identify the best
possible slogans and themes. Your input may influence the final vote by the state reps at the CSLP Annual Meeting on September 23.
These sessions are open to all membership. If you have any insights and would like to help us avoid unfortunate translations in the future please add one of the listening sessions
to your calendar.

Summer Library Program Survey
Please complete
this summer library program survey from the Collaborative Summer Library Program -
even if you didn't use "Tails and Tales" this year (you can just skip CSLP specific questions).
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! (Did you know? All Michigan public libraries are members of CSLP,
even if your library opts not to use the slogan/artwork/manual, because LM covers your membership fees on a statewide level using IMLS/LSTA funds.)
The survey can be found here:

TeenTober is around the corner! TeenTober is a nationwide celebration hosted by libraries every October. It aims to celebrate teens, promote year-round teen services, and the innovative ways teens services help teens learn new skills and fuel their passions
in and outside the library.
Start off the celebration with the TeenTober
poster and
bookmark. Use these to show off the many ways teens can learn new skills and fuel their passions in and outside of the library. If you'd like to receive updates about TeenTober, please sign up
