"If you feed them, they might come", but food alone will not keep teens coming back to your library for more! A sense of place, belonging and strong programming will.
Don your hard hats and take a journey inside the teenage brain with former sixth grade teacher, Institute on Media and the Family speaker and Storyteller, Jenifer Strauss. Find out "why they act that way" and what it takes to really connect with tweens and teens at your library.
In this webinar you will:

  *   Understand the workings of the teenage brain
  *   Learn new programming ideas that will entice teens
  *   Find out how to create a Teen Advocacy Group & attract teen volunteers
  *   Discover ways to funnel teen creativity into programs that focus on contribution
  *   Learn how to collaborate with community partners that offer what teens need
This webinar is recorded for participants that cannot attend live and is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
