Come and help us celebrate the first ever Teen Tech Week, March 4-March 10, 2007.
This celebration is a national initiative sponsored by YALSA, the Young Adult Library Services division of the American Library Association (ALA). This week will be dedicated to teens and their use of technology in our libraries. According to the Teen Week Chair, Linda Braun, "[b]y developing Teen Tech Week, YALSA demonstrates the important role technology plays in teen life and the need for librarians to integrate the ways teens use technology into their programs and services.”
We will recognize Teen Tech Week with a display titled "Technology Then and Now" near the teen room, "Top 10 gadgets" and "Top 10 websites" posters created by the Teen Advisory Group, and a Guitar Hero program on Thursday March 8th at 4pm. No registration is required for this program, although finger stretching prior to playing is recommended. Don't have a clue what Guitar Hero is? Check out the wikipedia description.
