The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) 2023’s All Together Now National Summer Reading Champion will be announced on Monday, May 22nd – and it’s a big one! However, due to our partnership agreement, CSLP must keep it a secret for now… Meanwhile, we have the task of asking libraries to consider stocking the following titles that will be featured on a specially selected reading list our National Summer Reading Champion will be pushing out publicly.
