Thanks to the Collaborative Summer Library Program’s Social Media ad-hoc committee, I am happy to share with you a Toolkit
for Social Media around 2021’s Summer Library Program – “Tails & Tales!” Please
feel free to schedule social media posts on your library’s social networks using the samples provided. Until you receive your digital manual you may use the images on the CSLP Facebook page. Please adhere to the timeline as listed by posting within the month
noted, but not posting before a specified date.
#TailsAndTales and #CTKidsRead are the official hashtags for 2021.
You’re encouraged to be creative as you post throughout the year, and I look forward to seeing all your wonderful summer programming next year. CSLP Teen Video Challenge Even with most schools closing early, and with most libraries closed this summer, we had an impressive seventy-two entries in this year's Teen Video Challenge! If you need something to lighten your day, please check out the
winning videos! The passion and hopefulness of these young people pops off the screen!:
Special News Marley Dias interview by library teens! I just wanted to share with you all an exciting teen-lead virtual program we are hosting here at D.C. Public Library. Our Teen Council had the opportunity to interview Marley
Dias, the founder of the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign, author of Marley
Dias Gets It Done... and So Can You! , and now the host of a new Netflix show, Bookmarks:
Celebrating Black Voices. For more information, including how and where to watch the program,

here. While the Teen Council was prepped, the questions are entirely their own. The D.C. Public Library has found that the interview/panel format has been a great
way to allow teens to explore their interests and spearhead programs in the virtual world. Teen Summit Recordings The Massachusetts Library System and the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services recently ran a successful virtual teen summit. For access to
the session recordings, visit the Mass System’s Vimeo page here Teen
Summit Vimeo Showcase. DLD Virtual Open House
