There’s a great post today on YPulse from a guest blogger who took two teens with her to Comic Con over the weekend. Sounds like a great day - and it must be fun to visit a conference with teenagers. Librarians sometimes bring teens with them to our conferences … any thoughts? Have you ever considered it?
Anastasia Goodstein, who presented an awesome workshop for us last fall, has a great article in the May 2008 issue of School Library Journal on attracting teens to the library. She points out that teens expect content on demand, and cautions librarians from trying too hard to be cool. She even has some tips for things you should know if you’re over 30!

Handouts and links from our two final Year of the Teen workshops are now posted on the CMRLS website. You can find them at:
There was a great article in this weekend’s New York Times about NYPL adding video games to their collections and services for teens. They’ve also added gaming space in a bunch of their libraries. Check it out!
BTW, Jack Martin, who is quoted often in the story, will be here to do a workshop on serving GLBTQ teens on May 12. Cool!
