<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Summer looks a whole lot different this year. Instead of big kickoff parties and standing-room-only special performances, fabulous decorations, volunteen-staffed registration tables, and prize
baskets on display, 2020’s Summer Library Program (SLP) is online, non-congregate, with performers via YouTube and Facebook Live, registration and activity packet distribution online or at curbside, and prize distribution possibly waiting until after SLP ends.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">While the public health emergency brings huge constraints and challenges, Ohio librarians have a long history of producing super-creative, engaging summer library programs, frequently with
limited resources. We are in an unprecedented situation, and it’s both realistic and wise not to aim too high. But some practices, ideas, and innovations libraries are experimenting with this summer will be so successful, they’ll become standard practice for
SLP long after social distancing guidelines and heightened disinfecting practices are memories.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Each year, the State Library asks all Ohio public libraries to report on their SLP. This year’s survey will let you share the results of this unique summer. Your participation in the 2020 Ohio
SLP Evaluation Survey helps us collect, share, and learn from the experiences of libraries operating an SLP in current conditions. As it does each year,
<b>your participation also allows us to tell stakeholders and decision-makers how summer programs and activities provided by public libraries positively impact children, teens, families, adults, and communities.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">This year’s survey will be shorter – just 12 questions, of which most are optional. It can take as little as 3-5 minutes if you have your numbers ready at hand, longer if you have stories or
details to share. The 2019 survey included 14 questions and took, on average, 18 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The survey will be open from mid-June through early October. A link will be posted to OPLINlist, the Library Youth Services list, and the Small Libraries list, and will appear on the Ohio
SLP page of the State Library website (<a href="https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/youth-services/ohio-summer-library-program/">library.ohio.gov/ohio-summer-library-program</a>). Please help achieve 100% participation
for 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Here is a summary of the questions on the survey. Review these questions, and track your SLP activities accordingly if possible.
