Not to mention our staff spends a lot of time yelling at/kicking out/complaining about the 30 or so tweens and teens who hang out at the library every day and I have NO IDEA how to deal with this issue. So, the teens are getting a low-key summer reading program (20 of the 40 kids who signed up participated last year) a girls&#39; night out/body art program (I got 20 to attend that last year) and if enough people sign up I&#39;ll do a wii tournament/pizza party. That&#39;s it for the entire year. I&#39;m hoping you have suggestions for this in your next post...nothing I&#39;ve tried works.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443395124572079863.post-7094140647548087972012-04-18T15:03:13.288-05:002012-04-18T15:03:13.288-05:00This just nails it in the head why I&#39;ve had a ...This just nails it in the head why I&#39;ve had a struggle building teen program at my new library. I wear so many hats like you, doing 0-18 that I can&#39;t focus all my time on teen events and that key building relations factor which is so, so important and which I did way more in my previous job. I&#39;m going to introduce some teen programs this summer and I&#39;m hoping it will start to create those advocates who yeah, may have used the library before, but were never truly part of the relationship the library has with the public.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143076553082307597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443395124572079863.post-31603651277837629542012-04-18T14:34:19.871-05:002012-04-18T14:34:19.871-05:00I think another part of the difference is that man...I think another part of the difference is that many teens are able to start coming to the library independently/choosing how to spend their time. If they&#39;re choosing the library, then they can start encouraging their peers to do the same.Ms. Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093580866958106241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443395124572079863.post-80877937103372134602012-04-18T12:48:51.762-05:002012-04-18T12:48:51.762-05:00I hadn&#39;t thought about a dedicated group of te...I hadn&#39;t thought about a dedicated group of teens as &quot;library advocates&quot;-- but that&#39;s exactly what they should be! That&#39;s definitely different than what I see as a success for elementary programs: a wide range of kids who then stick around, increasing check out and becoming library users themselves. Advocacy, though, seems like the next likely step once they are old enough!Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620311818924212405noreply@blogger.com
