Engaging with Teens on a Shoestring Budget
Virtual Conference Program
Thursday, March 15
11:00 AM–12:00 PM Eastern
No time, low or no budget, and limited staff don’t have to doom teen programs. Good ideas and creative thinking can increase usage of library resources, even among the hard-to-reach school-age market. Our panel of energetic librarians will share their stories on guerilla marketing of teen programs; teen programming on the cheap; launching an online homework help program; and branding a homework help program to drive usage.
Speakers:
LeeAnn Anna, Children and Teen Librarian, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
Judy Boyce, Director, West Baton Rouge Parish Library
Michele Gorman, Teen Services Coordinator, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library
Stephen Grubb (Program Organizer), Manager of E-Services, Broward County Library
