Bobbi Clapp passed along this link to some teen blogs libraries around the country have set up. Might be worth a look if you are thinking of trying this for your teens. It’s the rage!

Helen Warren | Helenosstoryhour@yahoo.com | IP: 65.219.208.186 I am looking into creating a small space in our library for teens to hang out in. I would like to gather the teens to decorateit. Have any run into trouble with having a teen space? How do you handle prolbems? Nov 8, 7:08 PM

You should all have your separate teen summer manuals by now. Note the CD has clipart & the manual on it.

I hope all of you who work with teens (or want to start!)  in your library will join this blog to share experiences, questions, joys and woes of working with young people. Send me an email at mkeefe@midhudson.org to be put on the blog list so you can both read and post messages.
