PARTNERSHIP STATEMENT
CSLP views partnerships as two organizations working together to achieve a common goal. CSLP partners with both non-profit and for-profit organizations to benefit public libraries and their summer reading programs. Our partnership needs may change annually depending on our summer theme, but we’re always looking to partner in new and different ways. Organizations can contribute programs to our annual programming manual around our theme, can work with us on professional development webinars or other course offerings and can also offer our partners unique products or other benefits. CSLP has a Partnerships Committee that reviews partnership requests, signs and MOU’s and maintains communication with partners. Contact Executive Director, Dawn Krause, for more information.
