The May issue of summer Times by the National Summer Learning Association is about how summer can prepare teens for college and career. Below is one short article I copied and pasted directly from the newsletter with a few library-specific takeaways. You may read the full newsletter below or online<http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=b7f49461-daa8-4b64-a19e-16f987a1b0ec&c=244a0c00-a9c9-11e3-ae53-d4ae5292c47d&ch=2540c810-a9c9-11e3-aeb8-d4ae5292c47d>.
Need ideas for families on how they can keep their high school student learning all summer, while helping them find a job and getting them thinking about college?
Check out just a few of these great tips from NSLA CEO Sarah Pitcock on the U.S. Department of Education's HomeRoom blog<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001q5922RYo-sHMOUDglSsU9L5uObU0pX14xuvR3bKk9lSqdap9BCMlEuOUYk1Xa9WFL7zBrD4e76R7G1XlgPSztbQ4fse6wmLPtu9OKNMWJjIxsreAhhAroPMavuSBzsuIaGTyYDsh9GB38PyahghOZZJQi8d8kMOzVBqUqvC6OSoW2j6DeVdjY-SQw25cnDezzkbfN8xuuCjOwrxZnIZGHfNWvBPClkPjBSMcSgXlY9fhBJ5WH6xD7Wjd8vOo2bfC&c=HyJNoM7njZxfQDf7VYt0vdeDWIHl50JbkfrYtkK8yihTUyou1QpOpw==&ch=qDkZru8s0G4Xx8Tt8QJVhMsBxH7FnkEvN2x4LtXUQ9XpyPth_s1RJQ==>:
* Have your teen identify a career of interest, and research it together online or at your local library.
* Seek opportunities for him or her to connect with a professional mentor, either online or in your community.
* Encourage them to volunteer. Volunteer positions can provide valuable experience in job skills such as planning, communication, and collaboration.
* Plan a summer vacation, and ask your teen to take an active role in the planning. Research and budgeting are valuable skills.

Tweet your ideas for teens this summer using #SummerSuccess!
My takeaways:
* The first point explicitly recommends teens research careers at their public library. Are you prepared to help? When was the last time you familiarized with LearningExpress Library's Career Center<http://www.learningexpresshub.com/career-center/home/home>?
* The third point encourages teens to volunteer. Most of your libraries have plenty of volunteer opportunities. How are you promoting volunteer opportunities to teens? Are you working with teen volunteers in a way that will help them develop good work ethics-showing up on time, not using their smart phone during work time (unless it's required for the work), dressing appropriately, communicating with supervisors and other staff/volunteers effectively?
* If/when the proposed changes to the Ready to Read Grant go into effect (2015-2016), these will be summer reading and/or school-age projects public libraries could support with grant funds!
