YALSA Institute, Beginner's Guide to Teens in Libraries

Author Name: Beau T. Bradley
Library System: Washington County Free Library

Top 3 things learned:
-The schedules (and attitudes) of teens often match up with those of staff

-Teens will respond to outside the box thinking

-Teens use the library for many different reasons, often different from other
patron groups

How to implement: 
I have planned some upcoming programs that I think will match the wants and needs of teens well.

Additional learning: I would be interested to attend a program where we would just come up with lots of ideas for teen programs. The goal would be to leave with a whole pile of great ideas.
