The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) has
put out a call for ideas for the 2017 Children’s Manual and Early
Literacy Manual.
Specifically, they are looking for ideas along the lines of:
·
Programs and
activities; STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math)
topics, hands-on activities, and programming for a wide range of
interests, budgets, and age groups (including intergenerational)
·
Books
·
Displays and Decorations
·
Storytimes
·
Incentives
·
Outreach to children and families outside the library
·
Early literacy tips
·
App recommendations
·
Encouraging parent/caregiver engagement
Whether you’ve got one book recommendation or an entire program outline, CSLP would love to hear from you.
Our 2017 theme is “Build a Better World.” Below,
you’ll find subthemes for each manual, to help give you an idea of what
we’ll be covering in each one.
Please submit your ideas to Amanda Struckmeyer at
amandacmoss@gmail.com by August 14, 2015; be sure to include
your name, institution, city, and state, so that we can acknowledge you
in the manual. Please note whether any finger plays, rhymes, or songs
are original works. Any format is welcome (book
lists, bulleted lists, brief notes, or full paragraphs, for example).
If you prefer, a CSLP Program Submission Form can be found at
http://www.cslpreads.org.
