The Collaborative Summer Library Program<https://www.cslpreads.org/> (CSLP) is looking for programs involving mystery, detectives, discovery, exploring, puzzles, STEM & more.

CSLP Content Editor Amanda Raiche will choose one program from each category (children, teens, and adults) and one contributor of early literacy books and songs that best captures the theme. Program ideas submitted with photos (that the submitter owns the copyright to or are proven copyright-free) have the highest chances of winning.
The winner in each category will receive a $50 coupon for merchandise in the CSLP online store. You can purchase some great merchandise for 2026's Unearth a Story theme!

Whether or not your program idea wins the contest, all submissions will be reviewed by CSLP's several manual committees for inclusion in the Mysteries Await at Your Library manual. Due to limited space, not every programming idea will be included in the manual. Similar programs may be combined.
