Library 2.0 for Teens
What Works, What Doesn't, and What You Can Do

Former president of the Public Library Association Sari Feldman would joke
that “from the time people get their driver's license until their first
baby, the library doesn't see them.”
• http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/southsouthwest/ct-met-library-of-the-future-0308-20110307,0,5528757.story
Technology has changed that, both by
making the library more attractive and by
letting staff spend less time on routine tasks
and more time for customer service.

Teens need a separate space where they can browse, study, and hang out without feeling they’re being too observed.
Teens need computers, study areas, and a
collection that meets their needs.
Teens need to be reached out to in physical and virtual spaces. We need to find them where they are.

Welcoming Signage
Exclusive Use of the Space
ComputersLaptops? Do they have big enough keys for teen boy fingers?
Informal classroom with smartboard. Part of normal fluid space, at the end. If kids show up
late to class, they still get to come. Registration doesn't matter. Classes are for
everyone.

Enough Shelf SpacesWhy is YA the most weeded collection if it has the
highest circ rate?
Teen recommend spine stickers
Book reviews by teens in catalog
Book reviews by teens in BOOKS
Where your collection is located determines how well it moves.
Digital Labs:YOUmedia Case Study
What Can YOUmedia Model Do?“It used to be that kids would come to the library to take information and bring it home. And what we think now is that kids will be bringing information to the library, and using the center here to distribute and share with other kids, other kids who come to the center and other kids throughout the city.”

The Teen/Tween ProblemTeens ≠ Tweens
Many books of Teen programs are programs that work for the 11 to 14 crowd.
Successful programs for that age are easy

Summer reading program
Cool Teen Book ClubsMeet at local Starbucks instead of the library
Either get the books as ILL so it’s easy for them to get or buy them paperback copies
Skype with another group of kids who read the same book somewhere else
Meet at the high school either before school, at lunch or after school.
Pick populist series books (Hunger Games, Twilight, Maze Runner...) to keep them coming back time to time.
Let students have input on book.
“Teens need their space. They need their own space, a place to feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly at home. This is no exception when it comes to libraries. Without a separate Young Adult section, these teenagers would be shuffled between the babyish feel of the children’s department and the overwhelming sensation of being a part of the adult section. The confusion that is felt during adolescence would only be intensified and the search for identity would get lost when spending too much time searching for an appropriate book.”
