The New Mexico State Library proudly supports summer reading programs at public libraries throughout the state. Summer Reading Programs help build relationships and community, foster civic partnerships, encourage reading and the use of other library resources, and provide needed out-of-school programming throughout New Mexico.
As a member of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, NMSL sponsors public libraries membership to join in this national nonprofit consortium. Public libraries participating in the program can find resources on the CSLP website or may contact our Youth Services Coordinator, Kelly McCabe, at kelly.mccabe@dca.nm.gov
This program is funded with a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of New Mexico through the New Mexico State Library, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs.
The CSLP Summer Reading Program Manual for 2025 is now available. If your library needs information about manual access, please contact Kelly McCabe, Youth Services Coordinator.
