Angela - Wonderful information as always! Our Library has a good teen following. We have a teen advisory board that meets once a week and a Teen Book Club where they get to choose the book to read. One of our locations has a bi-weekly art and craft event that is a good draw. To reach these teen groups we reached out to the local Teen Center, the YMCA as well as the High School Libraries. We have recently added a Nintendo Switch that has brought in a few new teens and a new program we have is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign as well. The last thing we have done is combine the Teen Volunteers with our Teen Advisory Board. Thanks again for the info!
Thanks, Angela. And thanks for sharing our kudos. Your tips to attract teens are great. We have a relatively new Teen Advisory Council which has been very helpful and I love the idea of talking to the teens who work in the library. Duh! Not sure why I never thought of that, but I'm going to do that do and share this with my social media committee to get their input too.
