Arkansas and the Collaborative Summer Library Program
Summer Library Programs are held in public libraries across Arkansas in May through August annually- an LSTA Sponsored Program.
Arkansas particpates in the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) which is a grassroots consortium of states working together to provide high-quality summer reading program materials for children at the lowest cost possible for their public libraries.
By combining resources and working with a commercial vendor to produce materials designed exclusively for CSLP members, public libraries in participating states or systems can purchase posters, reading logs, bookmarks, certificates and a variety of reading incentives at significant savings.
