YA Librarian Mantra: 1.The entire library is the “teen space.” 2.Teens are the best source for teen recommendations. 3.Treat teens like the individuals they are. 4.Make teens aware of their “power” in the library. 5.Socializing with peers is part of growing up. #GSLIS777

Our PL teen spaces should be ones that understand the unique needs of its young patrons, whether that be their need for privacy, color, or for information during a crisis. We must not forget about these patrons in the PL! #gslis777

Teen programs bring teens together even during Covid-19! Virtual proms allow for social growth! Have the community show their support for local teens with donations! Allow teens of 2020 to enjoy important coming of age milestones! #gslis777

Loved recreating my moms Shelter Pets unit for my Kindergartners! They loved every minute and learned so much about shelter dogs and how to care for them!
