[Michlib-l] Tween Spaces

[Jen Taggart]

Hi Janelle,
I attended a wonderful program at this year’s ALA annual conference: “InbeTWEEN: Services and Programs for Tweens in Public Libraries.” The presenter, Lisa Kropp, has a very resourceful wiki that I would take a look at: http://tweensinlibraries.wikispaces.com/home

Best,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Tween Spaces

Hey Everyone,
We are hoping to build a new library sometime in the future and we are thinking about planning for a tween area. Does anyone have a tween space in their buildings? Is it part of either the teen or children's section? Or is it a separate area? If you have a tween area, how did you decorate it differently than the children's or teen areas to make it stand apart from the other sections? Are there things that you like or hate about your tween area? Things you would have done differently? Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Janelle
