My video for class.  Harder than I thought it would be for my first video, but here it is in all it's "glory".  Don't comment.  I hate criticism. LOL

Discover recipes, home ideas, style inspiration and other ideas to try.

So many program ideas!  I wish there was a way to get more teens in my local library, but I would be happy to do any of these things for the few dedicated teen readers we do have. Check out more on my pinterest board

Check out some of the things I think I would want if I were a teen and was designing a new space in the library.  Some I am considering to do in my own house now. LOL.  In a perfect library world, teens would be included in space design or renovation to see what they actually like and would use and not just what librarians think they understand about teen needs and wants.  #LIS7423

I follow Demco on Pinterest and Twitter and they have wonderful ideas for creating teen spaces and programming in libraries.  I found a great blog article they did last year for Teen Tech Week. Because I love Little Libraries, I appreciated that one of their suggestions was to have teens build a Little Free Library as part of a maker space project.  #lis7423

Super helpful infographics explaining the importance of libraries to teens from YALSA!  These kinds of stats and info can help you craft your talking points when meeting with legislators about their support of libraries and why we need libraries!

“It’s like a book recommending a human”. I feel an instant connection to them. Books bring people together.
