[SEO-Members] CSLP theme/slogan survey & summer planning workshops

[jdwyer at library.ohio.gov]

Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication.

Each year the Collaborative Summer Library Program seeks feedback from library staff in Ohio and across the country for future summer slogan and theme suggestions. Now is the time to be heard! Please complete this brief survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjDIg8csDVkU3a8nzNsGkamFrqtug5Tbg_Fi0BBZvc3URUBA/viewform> to suggest a slogan for the 2029 theme of Nature and a fresh new theme for 2030 (!).

Some tips for developing themes and slogans:

  *   Adaptable for all ages
  *   Translatable into Spanish
  *   Culturally sensitive and thoughtful
  *   Avoid puns and wordplay
  *   Catchy, memorable, concise
  *   Inclusive, accessible, applicable across settings

For a list of previous themes and slogans go to: https://www.cslpreads.org/themes-and-slogans/. One additional note: "Plant a Seed, Read" was recently used by iREAD so it's unlikely to be chosen for the 2029 CSLP slogan.

Please share your suggestions via the survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjDIg8csDVkU3a8nzNsGkamFrqtug5Tbg_Fi0BBZvc3URUBA/viewform> by Monday, February 2, 2026. Thank you!
