Youth Services News CSLP Annual Meeting Info

[Dekle, Deanne, DCA]

Good morning Youth Services staff!
Last week I attended the annual CSLP annual meeting and I wanted to give you all an update on things that happened or will be happening. The biggest was the theme for 2023 was chosen and it is... oceanography! Next year we'll work on the slogan so start thinking about! I was re-elected as chair of the Vendor committee, and our new president-elect is BriAnne Newton (the current chair of the Teen Manual committee). We held a committee fair where meeting attendees went around to the different committees and got information on all of them. The deadline to sign up for a committee is THIS Friday, the 27th, and I wanted to give you all one last push to join a committee. The CSLP doesn't work unless we have people volunteering for committees! Most of the committee work is all done virtually through email or sometimes through online meetings like Zoom and attendance at the annual meeting isn't required. I signed up for the Vendor committee after my first annual meeting and eventually chaired the committee which brought along a seat on the Board, I've been on the Adult Manual, served on Artwork for 2019 and 2021 and chaired Artwork for 2020 and 2022, and I also serve on Social Media. After this meeting, I think I also want to sign up for the Rules of Use Committee! If you'd like more information on any one committee or to sign up, visit https://www.cslpreads.org/join-a-cslp-committee/. I can also answer some questions about committees and as always will give a push for Vendor!

I should be receiving your manuals in the mail fairly soon which means YOU will be receiving your manual in the mail fairly soon as well! As soon as I have yours, I will mail them immediately so you can start planning for 2020 and also so you can see the new manual format which I think is awesome and so much more user friendly! The new online store is now open if you'd like to browse around and start thinking about what you'd like to purchase https://www.cslpreads.org/cslp-store/ . Vouchers will be done a little differently this year because of the new online shop but I think it's going to be so much easier on everyone involved! When that time comes, I will offer plenty of instructions.

That's all that I can remember right now about the meeting, but there was A LOT that happened, a lot of discussion about future product ideas in the catalog, and a presentation by the National Summer Learning Association to name a couple.

Be on the lookout at the beginning of October for an announcement of Summer Reading 2020 workshop dates and locations!
