Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a nonprofit, charitable organization that supports literacy, education and science through summer reading events in public libraries across the United States. CSLP works to develop interest in reading and library use. This includes development and implementation of summer reading programs used nationwide, public service announcements and other activities promoting reading and library use.
If your library planned a successful event or has a highly attended recurring program, or hosted a performer and received glowing reviews, share the information with PLS executive committee.
