You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Flyer: Library Summer Program Marketing Crash Course

Cari Hillman, Community Engagement Director of the MidPointe Library System shares marketing tips and tricks to help make your summer a success. Scalable to libraries of all sizes, this session will outline the power of a comprehensive marketing plan and ways to use CSLP resources for your marketing.

What’s Great About Your Community: Extending your connections to youth and families

Join us in an informal conversation about how you can connect with the assets in your community – people, organizations, and places – to build summer services that benefit youth and families. We’ll share examples and provide an opportunity for you to explore your own community’s assets and to get feedback from others.

 Catch the Programming Wave (with Oceans of Possibilities)! 

Dive into new programming and display ideas with CSLP!  We will provide oversight to the new 2022 Oceans of Possibilities manual, highlight ideas for all age groups, and delve into display concepts.

Sessions will be recorded and made available to registered attendees.
