Summer Reading Program

Click here to find out more about the Summer Reading Program. 

The Nevada State Library, Archives & Public Records is partnering with the Northern Nevada Literacy Council (NNLC) to offer two workshops in northern and southern Nevada. The workshops will introduce librarians, library staff, and community partners to the Family Reading Program (FRP). The FRP is an early literacy program whose goal is to double the number of children in Nevada who are proficient in reading by the third grade. By reading and having books in the home, it will help children and their parents to improve literacy and model good family literacy behaviors. NSLAPR and NNLC are seeking libraries and community partners to pilot the FRP. The pilot libraries will work with Nevada families to build strong literacy-related habits proven to improve the literacy rates of children. Other libraries and community partners will then emulate the pilot library's successes leading to a statewide literacy program that will be available to all Nevada children. 

This project is made possible through funding provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records.

The Nevada State Library, Archives & Public Records (NSLAPR) is inviting all children's librarians, library staff, and partners who help lead family learning programs to take part in our SuperCharged Storytimes Learning Circle. The SuperCharged Storytimes is six one-hour modules that participants can view at any time on WebJunction. The modules provide research-based practices to add to your story times to boost early literacy in young children. The Learning Circle is a facilitator led, peer-to-peer discussion group that shares ideas with other Nevada librarians to get the most out of each SuperCharged Storytimes module. The Learning Circle will meet either online using Zoom or through conference calls. 

To register, please complete this form and indicate the best time of day for you to join the Learning Circle: https://nsla-nv.libwizard.com/SuperChargedStorytimes

The CSLP web site also has extensive additional materials for members, including signing videos, adult literacy materials, logos, PSAs, web banners, non-English slogans, etc. You can register for a member account at the web site.

Rules of Use/Copyright

The Summer Reading materials and artwork are designed for the exclusive use of CSLP and CSLP members. As such, there are copyright restrictions regarding the use of all CSLP art/graphics and the CSLP program manuals/DVDs. You can find a complete list of what member libraries MAY and MAY NOT do in the Collaborative Summer Library Program RULES OF USE.

CSLP Membership

State membership in CSLP allows public libraries in that state to use CSLP manuals and artwork within the Rules of Use. Membership also includes participation in an annual planning conference and committees. NSLAPR sends two people to the CSLP conference each year. Most committee work is done via email. If you are interested in participating on a CSLP committee, such as those for the manuals, diversity, marketing and PR, etc., again, please contact Library Development.  


The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a grassroots consortium of states and member affiliates working together to provide high-quality summer reading program materials for public libraries. http://www.cslpreads.org.
