Art/Graphics Information

You Cannot:

Ask a third party vendor to create an item for your summer library program that can be purchased from CSLP’s exclusive vendor or send any image or design on the CSLP CDs or DVDs to a third party vendor, other than the exclusive CSLP vendor, and request that it be put on any item sold by that third party vendor.

You Can:

Ask a third party vendor, other than CSLP’s exclusive vendor, to use the wording of the theme with non-CSLP art/graphics on any product not provided by CSLP’s exclusive vendor. The third party vendor is required to create its own art/graphics which must look substantially different from CSLP’s copyrighted art/graphics.
Customize the CSLP art/graphics or any pages from the CSLP Program Manuals with the public library, public library system, or state library agency name or logo.
Use any CSLP art/graphics in local, regional or state library agency publications, such as newsletters, that promote the summer library program, or in community publications that list summer activities for youth, such as: tourist brochures, local park and recreation schedules, or articles in newspapers about a library’s summer program or activities.
Use the CSLP art/graphics and the CSLP Program Manuals for any purpose the library chooses throughout the program year and for internal library use for as long as the member library wants to use the CSLP art/graphics and the CSLP Program Manuals after the program ends.
Exceptions are:
a. reprinting them for publication under the library’s name or implied ownership
b. giving them to a third party vendor to have them printed on any product
c. distributing them to libraries, other organizations, or individuals that are not state members as defined by the CSLP bylaws
Use the wording from the theme for any purpose of the library’s choosing. There are no restrictions on use of the words themselves. The CSLP wording design of the theme falls under the same acceptable use guidelines as any other CSLP art/graphics.

Manuals and CDs

You Cannot:

Put the full contents, or significant portions, of the CDs or DVDs which accompanies the CSLP program manuals on-line.
Reproduce portions of the CDs or DVDs that accompanies the CSLP program manuals for distribution or reprint portions of CSLP program manuals pages in any other publication, without permission from CSLP.

You Can:

Make copies of any CSLP program manuals page and distribute it to children as activity or coloring sheets, art activities, contests etc.
Distribute copies of CSLP program manuals pages during school visits, visits to community centers, during parades or any other outreach effort library staff or volunteers do to promote, advertise or support their summer library program during the program year. Use the CSLP program manuals for any internal library purpose after the program year.
Create a packet or booklet of CSLP program manuals pages to give to children as part of the summer library program promotion or activities.
Translate any page from the CSLP Program Manuals into any language needed to serve a community that does not use English as their first language.
