Notas do Editor
- Your library site needs to be connected. WE need to be where the teens are. Not the other way around.As Karen Strauss said in December- they are thinking in FB status updates, living in flickr moments and Youtube videos, dreaming in tweets. They are seeing their entire world through a social media lens. And we need to be there.
- 1 – working with small numbers of teens often times has the strongest impact for teens and younger children2- your tabs and teens will change each year – you need to change with them. What worked today may not nec. Work tomorrow3- Variety. Craft, technolgy, reading, art, tap into many different assets and types of personalitiesPLAN- Sit down and plan YOUR time. How much of it can you devote to a TAB, to training, to activities each day, month, over a year. Keep statistics.4 –Service Projects – teens want to be involved and feel they’ve made a difference5- keep your eyes and ears open to staff that are good with youth/ teachers too
- Took a webinar with tutor.com for Teen Tech Week with the CTO of Do Something.org and their marketing Manager Erica Manney who offered these exmaples of library webistes and blogs that are using social media to their advantage.
- Blog simplyBuild rapportIt’s not a billboard, but a conversation – Deeper level of engagementFlickr – photos of events are important, put a disclaimer on your publicity to cover yourselfTweet your meetings
- Book trailers is a US registered trademark (so is book teasers) Use something else. Resources in Tuccillo book and onlineTeachingbooks.net – pw: nbsls
- Read Across America Day March 2, Book Buddies, SRP, Friends eventsCheck Out Do Something. They have a Boot Camp coming up in NYC in the Fall. Your group may be interested in participating. Many resources there as well as grant money.
- Many teens are uncomfortable with a big commitment b/c of scheduling. Keep a list of tasks that can be done by teens. Have a drop-in day/weeknd. Post list, sign up. Staff intensive, but can be held once or twice a year.Read1, Pick 1. read a book for the YA collectiond during the prog. Got to pick another title, which the library would order and add to collection. Librarian made a list of over 100 potential titles (color covers) wide appeal. When book was ordered, colorful logo added to front of book so by end of prog, the teens kenw which books had been chosen by their peers, not librarians. Very popular. Set guidelines (fit coll dev pol)/ Have funding, order frequently. Ending celebration?
- Inklings, ScratchedLocal printing shops- photo shops. High school art teachers over the summer photography, drawing classes.Scrapbooking is huge. They are in your community. Put out a scrapbook and watch what happens.Do it Yourself Guide to Zines by Francesca lia Block 1998What’s a Zine by Esther Watson 2006Drama – all want their 15 min. of fame
