What do radical craft programs, political forums, animation classes after-hours parties, job fairs, home design workshops, spoken word festivals and car repair seminars have in common? They are all examples of programs held at public libraries! Community members are flocking to libraries for opportunities to connect, create and cultivate new skills & ideas at their public libraries.

Originally presented Thursday, February 24 with Penny Johnson, Teen & YA Services, Baraboo Library.
Libraries are attracting more and more teen patrons through programming, special collections and dedicated teen spaces. But what do your teens encounter in your library when they are outside the teen zone? Is your entire building teen-friendly?

The Teen SLP 2010 Workshop with Linda Jerome was held on Thursday, February 11.
Summer Programming for Teens with Linda Jerome, Teen Services Librarian, La Crosse Public Library
Programming for teens can be challenging and downright frustrating at times, so come and discuss what works (and what doesn’t) as well as some tips and “tricks” of the trade. Here is just a small selection of questions that will be answered (or at least discussed): What should you have at almost every teen program? What the heck is a Gock? Where can you get programming ideas from besides attending this program? How do you promote teen programs? What are “big games”? Why would you ever want to lock yourself in the library with thirty-five teenagers?
Let's talk about tween services: a facilitated discussion with Chelsea Couillard, Head of Youth Services, Baraboo Public LibraryCome to this presentation prepared to share tween summer library program ideas! Chelsea will facilitate this discussion and provide a few ideas to get everyone talking about great programs for tweens.
