Mark your calendars!
To support CSLP’s vision to ensure vibrant summer reading programs are available to everyone through their library, the Statistics Committee is requesting your library’s data on your summer reading program. All public libraries that do summer programming are welcome to complete it.
Survey Opens: Monday, July 20, 2026
Survey Closes: Friday, September 11, 2026
The survey will cover three age groups: Children (0-11), Teens (12-18), and Adults (19+)
[age categories as defined by the Institute of Museum and Library Services]
To prepare, here are a few key requests the survey will include:
- How your library tracks participation in your summer library program.
- Total number in each of the three age groups who participated in your summer library program.
- Total number in each age group who completed the minimum goal.
- Total number of summer library program-themed events for each age group.
- Total number of individuals attending summer library program-themed events for each age group.
Look for the link to the annual survey on July 20th from your State Rep, from our newsletter blast, on our social media, and here on our webpage.
Thank you for helping us create a complete a national data picture of summer reading 2026! We look forward to your responses!
