Tween and Teen Programming

Instead of just being a quiet place for research and books, the library is also “a place, physical and virtual, to learn how to connect and use resources of all types from physical books to apps to experts in a local, regional, or national community. 

With this paradigm shift, library services have had to adapt and expand to better serve their needs. While libraries are still a trusted and important source of information and books, tween and teen programs are a wonderful way to help young people explore their interests, introduce them to new perspectives and ideas, and provide positive environments for personal development. We encourage librarians who work with tweens and teens to be bold and creative with their programming so that program offerings reflect this shift in what libraries are.
