Teen Tech Week

Teen Tech Week 2012 will be celebrated March 4-10!

The 2012 theme — Geek Out @ your library — encourages libraries to throw open their physical and virtual doors to
teens and showcase the outstanding technology they offer, from services
such as online homework help and digital literacy-focused programs to
resources like e-books, movies, music, audiobooks, databases and more.

Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association and is aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults. The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries such as DVDs, databases, audiobooks, and videogames. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries' nonprint resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology. Teen Tech Week began in 2007 and has a general theme of Get Connected @ your library.
