As a school librarian, I have those students who are brought to the library by their teacher to find research, required resources, a choice reading book or to seek out help. I have a group who frequent the library daily during lunch, as a means of escape of the open school atmosphere during this time. And I have those who would stay after school every day to delay going home...
Thinking about programming, doing more for our teens (as none of our five district's public libraries meet teen needs) - I would like to know:
What do teens WANT from their local library?
Supporting questions include:
How are rural teens wants the same as urban teens? How are they different?
How can we get teens to want to use our libraries?
What is a Teen Advisory Board (TAB)?
How can a TAB help a library to meet teens' needs?
How important is it to know what teens want?
What social events or teen programs would be most appealing?
With limited funds, how does a library start meeting teens' needs?
