Top 3 things learned:
1. Specific Ideas for Teen Programming (ex. Zombie night)
2. Things to keep in mind when serving teens in the library (stage of life, etc.)
3. How to deal with teen behavioral problems
How to implement:
1. Plan a "zombie party" to attract teens who are interested in Walking Dead comic books and tv show. Teens can dress up, learn how to put on Halloween makeup to look like a zombie, could show a zombie movie, have zombie themed games, etc.
2. Plan more passive programs to lure "passive teens" to participate (scavenger hunt, etc.)
3. Deal with behavioral problems by: planning a passive program or snacks to distract them, pay attention to time of day teens visit library and schedule staff breaks/lunch around this so more staff is available to deal with potential problems.
Additional learning:
I learned some of what teens are into and what fads have passed, i.e. teens don't use facebook much, they are more into other social media platforms. I can use this in my marketing.
