Books in the Teen Librarian Bookshelf series

In this book, you'll discover how tweens and teens lead the way in designing, planning, and running library programs with the adult support they need to see their plans through. The ideas featured in this book are ones teens themselves have brought to life for children, adults, their own peers, or even for all ages or mixed audiences.

This book shows in detail how to plan crowd-attracting and crowd-pleasing programs with step-by-step instructions from librarians who have done it successfully. Concrete examples and proven methods for planning will appeal to librarians and other agencies working with large groups of young people.

Connecting Teens with Technology at the Library presents a balanced view of the often complex relationship between teenagers and their technology. The authors share more than a dozen full lesson plans for technology-based programs, scalable for any library budget, that will help the reader to engage with their teenaged patrons.
