Teams of advisors working in early learning, children’s, tween, teen, and adult services in California public libraries guide the development of Summer @ Your Library.

An iREAD California Summer @ Your Library Committee develops theme-based programming ideas, presents training workshops, and partners with the iREAD program to develop summer themes, slogans, and programming resources. iREAD California Committee members serve three year terms that are renewable once. Committee members are appointed in the spring and their terms begin at the CLA conference in the fall. If you are interested in joining the iREAD California Committee, please email info@cla-net.org.

Teams of strategic advisors convene periodically to advise on the development of California’s statewide summer program outcome statements, quality principles, and community of practice.
