CSLP Manual Submission Form
Please e-mail your filled out CSLP Manual Submission Form to: ManualChairs@cslpreads.org
Deadline for entries is December 1, 2015!
The theme for the 2017 CSLP Summer Reading Program is Build a Better World. CSLP
produces manuals that include program ideas, booklists, decorations and activities for four age
groups, from babies to adults. Since public librarians are our customers for the manual, we
want your ideas – you know what will work best in your branches. Use the form below to
submit your idea and any related materials (pictures, worksheets, etc.).
Remember: All ideas must be original. Any ideas originating from copyrighted materials
including books, magazines, or the Internet must be listed in the Staff Resources bibliography.
The actual copyrighted idea (picture, craft, etc.) cannot be included in the CSLP manual.
Submission of an idea does not guarantee its inclusion in the manual, per editorial review.
Submissions may be edited and expanded upon. The submitter’s name and system will be listed
in the manual in the chapter which includes the submission.
