Public Library Development (PLD) coordinates a statewide summer library program for all ages.
Wisconsin public libraries are able to purchase high-quality program materials at a low cost through state-sponsored membership to the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Library staff can create individual membership accounts through CSLP to access additional online information, including each year's manual and artwork.
Wisconsin public libraries also have access to Beanstack , an online reading platform and mobile app, through a multiyear statewide contract ending in April 2023.
