What Collaborative Summer Library Program does
Mission
We collaborate with library professionals to develop adaptable summer reading resources and programs that support literacy, learning, and connection for all ages.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Color Our World Summer Reading initiative provides public libraries with a unifying theme, slogan, and comprehensive resource manual to inspire the creation of vibrant, locally tailored summer programs. Paired with the Building Community Based Summers training component, this program equips library staff with the tools and strategies to design summer reading experiences that reflect their communitys unique needs, interests, and demographics. Together, these resources empower libraries to celebrate creativity, foster literacy, and strengthen community connections through inclusive, engaging, and meaningful summer learning opportunities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.1M to $1.2M (+10%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
1% of Collaborative Summer Library Program’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
