[OPLINLIST] Adult Summer Library Program notes from CSLP: correction & call for ideas

[Janet Ingraham Dwyer]

Two notes from the Collaborative Summer Library Program regarding the
adult summer library program...

 

First, if you are using the 2011 theme, Novel Destinations, there is an
error in the manual.  On pages 27-28, the answer to #2 on the Capitals
and Countries Quiz is Portugal, not Spain. 

 

Second, please consider sending your "nighttime"-themed program,
outreach, and decorating ideas to Patti Sinclair for the 2012 CSLP adult
manual.  Details:
