Youth Services News CSLP Slogans/Themes

[Dekle, Deanne, DCA]

Good afternoon Youth Services staff!
Thank you to everyone who attended the listening session today, I think there was a lot of great discussion around possible slogan for 2024- Adventure and the theme for 2025. There is a Google Form for submissions and that's open until April 8th. Some things to think about before submitting your ideas:

Definition of Theme:

A single concept described in one or two words
Examples: Space, Oceanography, Music

Themes should be short and concise; one or two words work best.

Definition of Slogan:

A short and striking or memorable phrase that promotes libraries, summer programming, and CSLP
Examples: A Universe of Stories, Oceans of Possibilities, Libraries Rock

Slogans help narrow down a broad theme and are easily remembered. The slogan must be appropriate for all ages (Early literacy, Children, Teens, Adults) and the concept of it must be able to translate to Spanish. While a slogan like "Kelp yeah!" is fun and memorable, it wouldn't work for children and the translation to Spanish wouldn't have the same wordplay.

Slogans not chosen by State Reps may be used by the Manual committees for chapter headings.

Past themes/slogans can be found at: https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/years-of-cslp-slogans/.

The submission form can be found at: https://forms.gle/ZrHmSShTTaRHpnpB9. I look forward to reading all of your ideas, there have already been some great ones submitted!
