1. Summer library reading program CDs being replaced Some libraries have reported problems accessing information on the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) CDs distributed by Highsmith. In response to these issues, CSLP and Highsmith are providing replacement CDs issued along these guidelines:
• Effective immediately, libraries who place orders with Highsmith will receive two replacement CDs with their order. Those who have already placed an order with Highsmith should wait to receive the replacement CDs with their order.
• Two replacement CDs will be included in each Highsmith order until May 1.
• Member libraries who did not order from Highsmith may call 800-448-4887 to request their copies of replacement CDs. -- Note: All schools are members. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education paid the membership fee.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Marge Kudrna at 800-325-0131, ext. 17 or marge.kudrna@sos.mo.gov .
