Collaborative Summer Reading Program Updates:
- The Libraries and Summer Food guide is a one-stop resource for libraries looking to learn more and get involved in the USDA Summer Food Service Program or other ways to connect youth with healthy food. It has been updated for 2021 and covers all the basics: https://www.cslpreads.org/libraries-and-summer-food
- CSLP has created sample posts and graphics for your library to use on social media, which you will find in the 2021 Tails & Tales Social Media Toolkit
- Full PSA English Youtube link: https://youtu.be/3hJ5J7ay_t8 The "base" files are available for libraries to add their own logo or text. These files can be found on the "Additional Program Tools" tab, under the Manual Downloads drop down. CSLP released a handful of 15-20 second "shorts" cut from the PSA for libraries to share on their social media accounts on a weekly basis, keeping patron's attention throughout the summer.
- The CSLP Teen Video Challenge is back for 2021! Go to https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/teen-program/2021-teen-video-challenge/ for all the details, including the submission form and contest rules.
CSLP is looking forward to seeing & sharing #TailsandTales posts from your library! Remember you can follow CSLP on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest: @CSLPreads. CSLP also offers two Facebook Groups for member library staff: Feeding the Whole Child and the Official Summer Library Programming group.
South Dakota is part of the multi-state Collaborative Summer Library Program. Funding for CSLP statewide membership is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) as administered by the South Dakota State Library.
