Subject: CSLP's 2026 Slogan & 2027 Theme Listening Sessions


2026 Slogan and 2027 Theme Listening Sessions
Save the Date!  Thursday, August 24 ~ 1pm Eastern
OR
Friday, September 08 ~ 3pm Eastern

Talk up your favorite 2026 Slogan and 2027 Theme from the vetted and translated voting slate.

How are the Listening Sessions different from the previous Wordsmithing sessions?  The longer list of possible slogans has now been reviewed for copyright, trademark and translated into Spanish.  We will not be tweaking verbiage or revising the options at this stage. These sessions are YOUR opportunity to build support for your favorites.

State Reps will be listening and then casting their votes at the CSLP Virtual Annual Meeting. Make sure to reach out to your state rep<https://www.cslpreads.org/member-libraries/> by September 13 and let them know your favorites too! (You can email me at LancasterC5 at Michigan.gov<mailto:LancasterC5 at Michigan.gov?subject=CSLP%202026%20Slogan%20and%202027%20Theme>)

Please join us for 1 of the listening sessions:
