Create, Relate, & Pop @ the Library: Services & Programs for Teens & Tweens. New York: Neal-Schuman. ISBN: 9781555707224. Libraries are in a unique position to help young people explore new ideas. One easy way to do that is by using elements of pop culture to which they're already attracted. Here, two innovative YA librarians show you how to capitalize on the latest trends--from TV, movies, and music to indie and niche interests--by incorporating them into compelling, creative programs. Casual and fun to use, the book encompasses both traditional and Web 2.0 participatory programming, offering practical ideas, program templates, and step-by-step outlines of methods, supplies, and resources. Chapter coverage includes: * The philosophy of services to teens and tweens * Policies * Targeting populations * Collection building * Innovative programming using everything from reality * television to music to gaming * Tween and teen spaces (both physical and virtual spaces) * marketing * Outreach Providing answers to questions such as "What will I do with my summer program?" or "How can I incorporate something educational into our library's gaming theme?," this time-saving, soup-to-nuts resource is perfect for librarians working with newer technologies, as well as those looking to add some pop to traditional programming formats.

I subscribe to several newsletters regarding teen library services. This week I received two with a lot of great articles and information. Below are a few things I pulled from them that may be of interest to you too! These are taken from the SLJTeen Newsletter (School Library Journal) and YALSA eNews (ALA's Young Adult Library Services Association). Thinking about doing a teen community reads program? Nervous about selecting the right teen book for such a venture? Read this wonderful success story from our neighbors to the north in Port Townsend, WA. With a grant award of $25,000, I was able to purchase 400 copies of 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher to give away, hire artists, a writer, and a theater professional to work with teens. I also printed three hundred copies of a zine, created posters based on teen writings, rented theater performance space and fed lots and lots of teens, all part of the Teen Community Read program! How did I do it? Find out at: http://www.slj.com/slj/newslettersnewsletterbucketsljteen/890983-444/thirteen_reasons_why_a_teen.html.csp OLA's Young Adult Network (OYAN) and Children's Services Division (CSD) have been partnering with OregonASK, our statewide afterschool network, on a variety of projects for several years now. The latest joint project is funded by an LSTA grant to create special collections for afterschool providers that will be available at 6 public libraries-Deschutes County Library, Eugene Public Library, Jackson County Library, Multnomah County Library, Springfield Public Library and Wallowa County Library. Each participating library will co-host a collection launch event for local afterschool providers that will include a training provided by OregonASK in one of the curriculums from the new collection. YALSA's afterschool wiki includes some library programming ideas and links to 4 library's afterschool program web pages. Check it out!

Show Off the Great Things Your Library Does for Teens By Krista McKenzie Cuts in library funding are getting deeper and more widespread, making advocacy crucial to the survival of libraries. While it may be two months away, District Days are something everyone should be thinking about and planning for. For those unfamiliar with District Days, these are days that congressional representatives are on recess and are able to return to their home district. This year, the break is from August 8th through September 5th. During this time, representatives often hold town hall meetings, office hours, and meet with a variety of constituents to get their perspectives on current issues. This is an ideal time to bring your representatives into the library to see all the wonderful programming and services that libraries offer to teens. Some ideas to get your legislators involved at your library are to hold a library open house, involve them in a summer reading contest or program, invite them say a few words at a library event or class, or sit in on a technology program where your teens work with the legislator(s) to set up a Flickr account or show them how to use Delicious. YALSA has resources available to help make it easy for you to be a part of District Days. For information, check out the YALSA District Days wiki. Visit the page often for additional news and resources, including a Google participation calendar and blog posts.

I don't have the exact date and time yet for OYAN's presentation/s, but start thinking if you would like to take a day trip to Seaside and/or have a program you'd like to present. You can participate in one of two ways: 1. Assist with the OYAN Book Rave- This will be a retelling of the Book Rave OYANers presented at the OLA Conference in Salem. The Raves have already been written, so you will not even have had to read the books. If you use what is already written, it will be a good chance to practice the presentation techniques of booktalking. 2. Have a presentation you'd like to give to school librarians? OYAN can present both the Book Rave and possibly one other program. Have an idea? Let me know and I'll run it by the conference organizers. Let me know if you are interested. Kris.lutsock at ci.mcminnville.or.us Also, don't forget to submit a name or names for the upcoming OYAN best-of graphic novel list. Other than the pride my mother would undoubtedly feel for her oldest son, the Lutsock List probably isn't the greatest of names. E-mail me your suggestions.
