As the 2025–2026 Unearth a Story® season winds down, we’re pleased to report that all orders have shipped according to the schedule published on our Shipping Information page.
This success is thanks in large part to our fulfillment and warehouse partner, TS3, a small business located in Torrance, California, whose team has worked diligently throughout the season to process and ship thousands of orders to libraries across the United States and beyond. In a theme season, our warehouse processes ~5,000 orders!
As of mid-June 2026, orders placed through the CSLP Store are shipping within the week. Our warehouse is currently processing shipments every other day.
During the busiest months of the season—particularly January through May—CSLP utilizes a graduated shipping schedule to manage the high volume of orders received from member libraries. This approach allows our fulfillment team to efficiently process orders while ensuring libraries receive their materials in time to prepare for summer reading programs.
The CSLP Store will officially close for the season in mid-July 2026. We encourage libraries to place any final Unearth a Story® orders before the storefront closes.
Looking ahead, we are excited to reopen the store in Fall 2026 with products and materials featuring our 2027 summer reading theme, Mysteries Await at Your Library®.
On behalf of the entire CSLP team, thank you to our member libraries for your continued support. We are honored to play a small role in helping libraries create meaningful summer reading experiences for their communities.
With gratitude,
Dawn Krause
Executive Director
Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP)
