Collaborative Summer Library Program
The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a consortium of libraries with representation from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, and the Mariana Islands working together to develop summer reading programs.
History
The Collaborative Summer Library Program began in 1987 with 10 Minnesota regional libraries. Combined resources and collaboration with a commercial vendor allowed the libraries to provide cheaper, higher-quality resources to promote children and teen reading during the summer. Its current office is in Mason City, Iowa.
