A Great Fit: Teens, Technology and Libraries! -
Kelly Czarnecki

We'll take a look at how libraries throughout the country are engaging teens with technology and why. Then we'll have an opportunity to look at ways (low budget!) that you can integrate more technology programs and services for teens into your library and community and convince your administrators along the way.
