Collaborative Summer Library Program

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a consortium of libraries with representation from all 50 of the United 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 ten Minnesota regional libraries. Combined resources and collaboration with a commercial vendor allowed the libraries to provide cheaper, higher-quality resources to promote child and teen reading during the summer. Its current office is in Mason City, Iowa.
