Consider Joining a CSLP Committee

 

• Our committees are the engine that keeps CSLP moving forward, and vibrant committees lead to a vibrant CSLP. That is why we invite all member library staff members to join a committee annually. Only through your input can we continue to improve.
• Sign-ups for 2025 CSLP Committees are open until October 15. While the duties vary, committee obligations generally run for one calendar year. All committee work is done virtually, either through email, or through phone or online meetings. Attending the CSLP Annual Meeting is not required. You are welcome to sign up for more than 1 committee if your time allows, however each committee has different size and participation criteria.
• To help you decide which committee to volunteer for, please visit: https://www.cslpreads.org/committees/ to review the responsibilities of each committee. Most CSLP committees are open to all, however some have limited seats or require previous CSLP experience.
• Apply now! - CSLP Committee Application form
• The sign-up period is September 9 through October 15.
• If you are currently serving on a committee that you enjoy, let your Committee Chair know you want to sign up again or feel free to try a new committee.
