Welcome!

Hello there!
Many of the young people that attend my programs, come to book club, or visit the library to do research for school papers, are asking me for information that is of interest to other teens as well. I’ve always thought it would be nice to have one “place” that’s easily accessible to put all this teen specific information together. Well, it looks like that’s finally happening! I’ve been assigned to create a blog with a library related theme for one of my graduate school classes, and since teens are my business at the library, I am going to dedicate this blog to topics related to teen library services.

I know you’re all digital natives who love technology. So as long as you remember the name of this blog, you’ll always have access to the information here. No more losing scraps of paper with the title of the next selection of the teen book club or forgetting the date of the volunteer fair! Read the blog, and keep up-to-date!

On that note, I have exciting news to share with you book enthusiasts out there! The Festival of Words (FOW) 2015 is coming up soon!
