Is there a young adult component to the Collaborative Summer Library Program?
Yes, and it is expanding. For many years, the planning manual has included a YA chapter. For 2003, CSLP and Upstart developed a young adult slogan (different from the children’s slogan), producing posters, bookmarks, T-shirts, and other incentives, to support it. At the spring 2003 meeting, the CSLP membership voted to allot a budget to the Young Adult Committee, which allowed them to pursue the development of a separate young adult manual in 2005. The 2005 Manual included clip art separate from the children’s clip art. The CSLP YA Committee develops a YA slogan for the current years’ program, and Upstart develops separate posters, bookmarks, and other items that support that slogan.Adult Summer Reading Program ideas are currently included as a general link on the “Learning Tools” section of this website.
