Teen Tech Week 2008

Tune In @ Your Library® during Teen Tech Week 2008

Local teens will be tuning in as Avon Lake Public Library celebrates the second annual Teen Tech Week March 2-8, 2008. They join thousands of other libraries and schools across the country who are celebrating this year’s theme, “Tune In @ Your Library®.” Teen Tech Week is a national initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults. The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries’ non-print resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.

Teens between the ages of 11 and 18 are encouraged to stop by the YA Stop and fill out a Teen Tech Quiz for a chance to win a prize.  The contest runs through March 8, 2008.
