Last week we met and chatted about programs gears towards guys.
Mentioned:
*please add your ideas/successful programs to the list to share.
** Also check out Pinterest for more ideas on crafts/food programs. Everything is on this site – but there’s a craft and DIY section. I’ve been getting tons of ideas from it! Check out my boards (Jennifer Rummel) for some ideas on what you can find. I have lots of different boards, but my “work” boards are labeled Teen
***Be on the lookout for the books we mentioned closer to the beginning of the year.

The one thing I find most interesting is how other libraries are getting teens involved at their libraries. One thing I think we can all agree on is that we meet in order to establish how we do what we do, how others do what we do, and how we can do what others do in order to do more for our teen population. Only in cyber land would I be able to stumble upon what libraries are doing all the way in Nebraska! With that said, I think if you have a moment you might want to check this link out. It’s very cool and has some useful ideas that could help us all. It’s based on Effective Marketing to Tweens and Teens.
