Using Technology to Market the Library to Teens
Kelly Czarnecki | Conference | Saturday, June 30th, 2007
The YALSA Teens and Technology Committee sponosored this presentation with speakers Michael Stephens and Kimberly Bolan (handout and slides available on above links) at ALA.
A few highlighted sites included:
- Nashville Public Library – Teen songwriting contest and teen web links on Del.icio.us
- Kankakee Public Library, IL – Flickr page
- Hennepin County Public Library, MN – Comment enabled catalog
- Allen County Public Library, IN – Teen Summer Reading PSA
Did anyone attend the program and already implement one of the examples the presenters shared? Did the library with ten computers find a closer solution to serving teen patrons with technology? Do people follow up with a library they’ve heard about that did something that sounded really great and wanted to know exactly how they did it?

I’m thinking Twitter is a really good way for libraries to market their programs, collections, services to teens. It makes it really easy to send a text message to a large group. Looking forward to hearing about the first library who sets up something with Twitter for teens.
