Youth Services News Summer Reading 2023

[Dekle, Deanne, DCA]

Good morning Youth Services staff!
Yes, you read that subject line correctly, we're jumping ahead to Summer Reading 2023!

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) needs your theme ideas for the 2023 program! The theme is the broad, general topic to frame the summer program for that year.

Recent and upcoming themes include:
2016: exercise/sports/wellness
2017: building/construction
2018: music
2019: space
2020: world mythology/fairy tales/folklore
2021: animals
2022: World-Social Justice-Unity-Kindness-Inclusion-Change-Diversity-Equity-Make a Difference-Embrace different Cultures
For a complete list of themes visit: https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/years-of-cslp-themes/.

Suggestions will be voted on at the CSLP Annual Meeting, held this September in Indianapolis. The call for a slogan to go with the theme will be sent out in the Spring of 2020.

The artist for the 2023 program is award winning illustrator Frank Morrison. From his website:

Morrison's work can be found in numerous award-winning children's books including Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award winner Jazzy Miz Mozetta, NAACP Image Award winner Our Children Can Soar and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor, Little Melba and her Big Trombone. His literary client list includes international book publishers Penguin Books, HarperCollins, Hyperion, Random House and National Geographic Kids.

I have created a Google Form to collect suggestions https://forms.gle/xdmfef1iM35aPCWY7. Please vote by August 19th and please share the link with colleagues and coworkers- the more suggestions the better! I will compile the 5 most common themes and submit them on behalf of New Mexico.
