The weather is getting warmer and summer will be here before we know it. Now is a great time to get ready for your library’s summer reading program.

The subject guide has three tabs: the Wyoming Summer Reading Program homepage, Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) News & Resources for Librarians and Library Staff, and CSLP 2024 Adventure Partners: USDA Smokey Bear Reading Challenge.

The CSLP Adventure Partner tab features information and resources related to CSLP’s 2024 Adventure Partner, the USDA Smokey Bear Reading Challenge. Smokey Bear, the U.S. Forest Service’s lovable and historic mascot turns 80 this summer. The Smokey Bear Reading Challenge gives libraries and their patrons the opportunity to join in the celebration! You’ll find information on the challenge and a link to sign up, as well as links to free online printables, digital incentive items, and resource videos in both English and Spanish.
