Archived highlights the Summer Reading Program training February 1, 2008 at Beale Memorial Library in Bakersfield are now available at http://www.cla-net.org/summer-reading/ws_video.php. Funding for the videotaping was provided through the California State Library’s Rural Library Initiative.
Every public library in California has the opportunity to take part in the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Through LSTA funding, the California State Library pays the CSLP membership fee and purchases program manuals for California public libraries, and the California Library Association (CLA) provides training and programming support for librarians.
This year, the Summer Reading Program is helping California librarians create a buzz around summer reading with two new themes – “Catch the Reading Bug” for children and “Metamorphosis @ Your Library” for teens. For more information, visit the Summer Reading Program website at:

The California Rural Library Initiative is supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
