Collaborative Summer Library Program
CSLP is a leading national non-profit that creates an annual summer reading program for public libraries. We are an organization supported by a strong volunteer base that includes the Executive Board, State Representatives, and library staff. Front line public library staff, as well as state library consultants, prepare for summer reading year-round in order to provide quality programs at a low cost to all of our 14,000 member libraries across the United States and its territories. We continually seek to improve the summer reading experience for both the staff and patrons of public libraries through our products, artwork, and partnerships for the children, teens, and adults we serve in our communities. Mission: CSLP empowers libraries to foster community by collaborating with libraries to create an inclusive literacy-based program that is enjoyable for all ages, providing a reproducible program with a unified theme, sharing resources and offering professional support.
