CSLP Summer Survey is Now Open!

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!
The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/5N2agGJmmeqWodJh6<https://cslpreads.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405&id=271680d716&e=c18caf2bb6>
FAQs
Who should complete this survey?
The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2023 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work; e.g. children, teen, or adult programs.
  *   Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system.
  *   This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.)
  *   EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "ALL TOGETHER NOW" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey!
Is this survey required?
No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input.  Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program.
I want to be prepared.  What info will I need to provide?
  *   General feedback on using (or not) the 2023 program theme and materials
   *   Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults.
You may skip any questions for which you don't have the answers.  I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey.
When does the survey close?
The survey is open from now until Friday, September 8, 2023.

CSLP T-Shirt Makeover: You Asked, We Answered!

Submitted by Jasmine Rockwell, CSLP Vendor Chair

Coming this fall to the CSLP Store, softer t-shirts!  More shirt color choices! There will still be three different pieces of art on t-shirts, but each shirt design will have at least two color choices per cut. For example, the t-shirt with a piece of 2024 art with the "Adventure Begins at Your Library" slogan will be available in two colors in the unisex cut and two colors in the ladies cut. As usual, one t-shirt design will also be available in two colors in youth sizes, and there will be a "Love My Library" t-shirt again. The same size ranges will continue to be offered - through 5XL in unisex and 3XL in the ladies cut.

Also, for the first time ever: CSLP is offering a sweatshirt! To help you promote your library in the cooler parts of the year and for your fall/winter programming, the shirt will feature CSLP 2024 copyrighted artwork but will have the "Love My Library" slogan. Don't forget, you don't have to wait until the summer to use CSLP materials - you can use them all year long!

Enjoy this sneak peek!
